9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not reap the edge of your field completely and you must not pick up the gleaning* of your harvest.+

19 “When you reap your harvest from your field and you have forgotten a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. It should be left for the foreign resident, the fatherless child, and the widow,+ so that Jehovah your God may bless you in all that you do.+

2 Ruth the Moʹab·i·tess said to Na·oʹmi: “Let me go out, please, to the fields and glean+ among the ears of grain behind whoever looks on me with favor.” So Na·oʹmi said to her: “Go, my daughter.” 3 At that she went out and began to glean in the field behind the harvesters. By chance she came upon a plot of land belonging to Boʹaz,+ who was of the family of E·limʹe·lech.+
