16 Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and [a]leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”

Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an [b]ephah of barley. 18 She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and (A)gave [c]Naomi what she had left after [d]she was satisfied.
