Ruth 2:16-18
International Standard Version

16 One other thing[a]—drop some handfuls[b] deliberately, leaving them for her so she can gather it. And don’t bother her.” 17 So Ruth[c] gathered grain out in the field until dusk, and then threshed what she had gathered—about a week’s supply[d] of barley. 18 She picked up her grain[e] and went back to town.

Her mother-in-law noticed how much Ruth[f] had gleaned and had brought back from what was left over from her lunch.
