Ruth 2

¹⁴ At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.

¹⁵ When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.

¹⁶ Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”

¹⁷ So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.

¹⁸ She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
