Ruth 2:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ After the meal, Ruth returned to work in the field. Boaz said to his workers, ‘Let her pick up grains anywhere, even near the heaps of barley that you have cut down. Do not chase her away. ¹⁶ You should also pull out some barley and drop it for her to pick up. Do not be angry with her.’

¹⁷ Ruth picked up grains in Boaz's field until evening. Then she hit the grains with a stick so that the seeds came out. The grains of barley that she took home filled a large basket.^[a]
