Ruth 2:4-7 Part 2 of 2

Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!"  "The LORD bless you!" they answered. Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, "Who does that young woman belong to? The overseer replied, "She is the Moabite who came back from Moab with Naomi. She said, 'Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.' She came into the field and has remained here from morning until now, except for a short rest in the shelter."

 

She said, 'Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters'

Genesis 37:6-7  He said to them, "Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it."   

Leviticus 19:9  " 'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.' "

Ruth 2:15-16  As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, "Let her gather among the sheaves and don't reprimand her. Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up. And don't rebuke her."

Ruth 2:23  So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
