Ruth 2:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ At lunchtime, Boaz invited her, “Come on over, have some food, and dip your bread in our oil and^[a] vinegar.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he handed her some roasted grain, which she ate until she was satisfied. She kept what was left over.

Boaz the Benefactor

¹⁵ After she had left to glean, Boaz commanded his servants,^[b] “Allow her to glean also among the cut sheaves, and don’t taunt her. ¹⁶ One other thing^[c]—drop some handfuls^[d] deliberately, leaving them for her so she can gather it. And don’t bother her.”
