Ruth 2:17 in Context — Ruth 2

15 Levantóse luego para espigar. Y Booz mandó á sus criados, diciendo: Coja también espigas entre las gavillas, y no la avergoncéis;

16 Antes echaréis á sabiendas de los manojos, y la dejaréis que coja, y no la reprendáis.

17 Y espigó en el campo hasta la tarde, y desgranó lo que había cogido, y fué como un epha de cebada.

18 Y tomólo, y vínose á la ciudad; y su suegra vió lo que había cogido. Sacó también luego lo que le había sobrado después de harta, y dióselo.

19 Y díjole su suegra: ¿Dónde has espigado hoy? ¿y dónde has trabajado? bendito sea el que te ha reconocido. Y ella declaró á su suegra lo que le había acontecido con aquél, y dijo: El nombre del varón con quien hoy he trabajado es Booz.
