    14And Boaz said to her, At mealtime come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece in the vinegar. So she sat beside the reapers, and he handed her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied, and left some.

    15And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

    16And also let fall some of the bundles of grain for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and do not rebuke her.

    17So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

    18Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.

    19And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who took notice of you. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
