Ruth 3:15-17

New Living Translation

¹⁵ Then Boaz said to her, “Bring your cloak and spread it out.” He measured six scoops^[a] of barley into the cloak and placed it on her back. Then he^[b] returned to the town.

¹⁶ When Ruth went back to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “What happened, my daughter?”

Ruth told Naomi everything Boaz had done for her, ¹⁷ and she added, “He gave me these six scoops of barley and said, ‘Don’t go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
