Rut 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 2:15

And when she was risen up to glean
After she had ate sufficiently, and refreshed herself, she rose up from her seat to go into the field and glean again; which shows her industry:

Boaz commanded his young men;
the reapers, or who gathered the handfuls, and bound them up in sheaves:

saying, let her glean even among the sheaves;
this she had requested of the reapers when she first came into the field, and it was granted her, ( Ruth 2:7 ) but this, as it was granted by Boaz himself, so was still a greater favour; and there is some difference in the expression, for it may be rendered here, "among those sheaves" F8, pointing to a particular spot where might be the best ears of corn, and where more of them had fallen:

and reproach her not;
as not with her being a poor woman, a widow, a Moabitish woman, so neither with being a thief, or taking such corn she should not, or gleaning where she ought not.

Rut 2:15 In-Context

13 Y ella dijo: Se帽or m铆o, halle yo gracia delante de tus ojos; porque me has consolado, y porque has hablado al coraz贸n de tu sierva, no siendo yo ni aun como una de tus criadas.
14 Y Booz le dijo a la hora de comer: All茅gate aqu铆, y come del pan, y moja tu bocado en el vinagre. Y se sent贸 ella junto a los segadores, y 茅l le dio del potaje, y comi贸 hasta que se saci贸 y le sobr贸.
15 Luego se levant贸 para espigar. Y Booz mand贸 a sus criados, diciendo: Que coja tambi茅n espigas entre las gavillas, y no la avergonc茅is;
16 antes echar茅is a sabiendas de los manojos, y la dejar茅is que coja, y no la reprend谩is.
17 Y cogi贸 en el campo hasta la tarde, y desgran贸 lo que hab铆a cogido, y fue como un efa de cebada.
