Ruth 2:17

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Ruth worked in the field until evening. Then after she had pounded the grain off the stalks, she had a large basket full of grain.

See the chapter Copy

She takes good care of her family and is never lazy.

Be sure to pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles and leave them on the ground for her. And don't speak harshly to her!”

She took the grain to town and showed Naomi how much she had picked up. Ruth also gave her the food left over from her lunch.
