Ruth 2:15-17
New Life Version
15 When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told his servants, “Let her gather even among the standing grain. Do not speak against her. 16 Pull some grain out of the grain that has been gathered together and leave it for her to gather. And do not speak sharp words to her.”
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gathered. It was enough barley to fill a basket.

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)
