Ruth 2:15

Boaz Meets Ruth

14At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.15When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.16Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
