Ruth 2:14-17 (NKJV)
[14] Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of
the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the
reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and was
satisfied, and kept some back.
[15] And when she rose up
to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let
her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach
her.
[16] Also
let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her;
leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke
her.”
[17] So she gleaned in the
field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was
about an ephah of barley.
