Ruth 2:16 CPDV

¹⁴  And Boaz said to her, 'When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.' And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.

¹⁵  And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, 'If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,

¹⁶  and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.'

¹⁷  And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.

¹⁸  Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
