Ruth carried the grain into town to show her mother-in-law what she had gathered. She also gave her the food that was left from lunch.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, the first thing they need to learn is this: to show respect for their own family \{by helping their parents\}. When they do this, they will be repaying their parents or grandparents. That pleases God.

Ruth worked in the fields until evening. Then she separated the grain from the chaff. [11] There was about 1/2 bushel [12] of barley.
