12 aThe Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, bunder whose wings you have come for refuge.”
13 Then she said, a“Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken1 kindly to your maidservant, bthough I am not like one of your maidservants.”
14 Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and awas satisfied, and kept some back.
15 And when she rose up to1 glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not2 reproach her.
16 Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of abarley.
18 Then she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. So she brought out and gave to her awhat she had kept back after she had been satisfied.
