Ruth 3:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ So he said, “Come here and hold out the shawl that you are wearing.” So she held it out. He measured out six scoops^[a] of barley into it for her to carry home. Then he^[b] returned to town.

¹⁶ When Ruth came back to her mother-in-law, Naomi said, “How did it turn out, my daughter?”

Then Ruth told her all that the man had done for her. ¹⁷ She said, “He gave me these six scoops of barley, and he said, ‘You must not return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
