Ruth 2:16 Context
14And Boaz sayde vnto her, At meale time come thou hither, and eate of the bread, and dip thy morsell in the vineger. And shee sate beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corne, and she did eate, and was sufficed, and left. 15And when shee was risen vp to gleane, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her gleane euen among the sheaues, & reproch her not. 16And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leaue them that she may gleane them, and rebuke her not. 17So she gleaned in the field vntill euen, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an Ephah of barley. 18¶ And shee tooke it vp, and went into the citie: and her mother in lawe saw what shee had gleaned; and shee brought foorth, and gaue to her that she had reserued, after she was sufficed.
