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]

¹⁸ She carried the barley back to Naomi's home in the town. Naomi saw how much Ruth had picked up. Ruth also took the grains that she did not eat at the meal and she gave them to Naomi.
