Ruth 2:15-17

International Standard Version

Boaz the Benefactor

¹⁵ After she had left to glean, Boaz commanded his servants,^[a] “Allow her to glean also among the cut sheaves, and don’t taunt her. ¹⁶ One other thing^[b]—drop some handfuls^[c] deliberately, leaving them for her so she can gather it. And don’t bother her.” ¹⁷ So Ruth^[d] gathered grain out in the field until dusk, and then threshed what she had gathered—about a week’s supply^[e] of barley.
