Ruth 2:2-3 Part 1 of 2

And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." Naomi said to her, "Go ahead, my daughter." So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.

 

Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain

Deuteronomy 24:19  When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for  the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
