Ruth 2:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she ·separated the grain from the chaff [threshed/beat out what she had gleaned], and there was about ·one-half bushel [^Lan ephah; ^Cabout 30 pounds] of barley. ¹⁸ Ruth carried the grain into town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had ·gathered [gleaned]. Ruth also took out the food that was left over ·from lunch [^Lafter she was full/satisfied] and gave it to Naomi.

¹⁹ ·Naomi [^LHer mother-in-law] asked her, “Where did you ·gather all this grain [glean] today? Where did you work? Blessed be whoever noticed you!”

Ruth told her mother-in-law in whose field she had worked. She said, “The man I worked with today is named Boaz.”
