Ruth 2:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ In fact, you can even pull out some stalks from the piles for her, and you can drop them on purpose so that she can glean them, and do not rebuke her at all.”

¹⁷ So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed what she had gleaned. It amounted to almost a bushel^[a] of barley.

¹⁸ When she picked it up and went into town, her mother-in-law saw how much she had gleaned. Ruth also took what she had left over from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
