Ruth 2:15-18

New International Version

¹⁵ As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, “Let her gather among the sheaves^(A) and don’t reprimand her. ¹⁶ Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don’t rebuke^(B) her.”

¹⁷ So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed^(C) the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.^{[a](D) 18} She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had left over^(E) after she had eaten enough.
