    14At mealtime, Boaz said to her, "Come here and eat some bread and dip your morsel in the vinegar." So she sat beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain. She ate, was satisfied, and had some leftover.

    15When she got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

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

    17So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah of barley.

    18She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gleaned. Ruth also brought out and gave Naomi what she had leftover after she had eaten her fill.

    3Wash, anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but do not let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.
