So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened * to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

At mealtime * Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside * the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.
