Ruth 2:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 When Ruth left to start picking up grain, Boaz told his men, “Don't stop her, even if she picks up grain from where it is stacked. 16 Be sure to pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles and leave them on the ground for her. And don't speak harshly to her!”
17 Ruth worked in the field until evening. Then after she had pounded the grain off the stalks, she had a large basket full of grain.

Ruth 2:15-17
New International Version
15 As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, “Let her gather among the sheaves(A) and don’t reprimand her. 16 Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don’t rebuke(B) her.”
17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed(C) the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.[a](D)
