Ruth 2:17 Context
15And when shee was risen vp to gleane, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her gleane euen among the sheaues, & reproch her not. 16And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leaue them that she may gleane them, and rebuke her not. 17So she gleaned in the field vntill euen, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an Ephah of barley. 18¶ And shee tooke it vp, and went into the citie: and her mother in lawe saw what shee had gleaned; and shee brought foorth, and gaue to her that she had reserued, after she was sufficed. 19And her mother in law said vnto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be hee that did take knowledge of thee. And shee shewed her mother in lawe with whom shee had wrought, and said, The mans name with whom I wrought to day, is Boaz.
