15 Después le dijo: Llega el lienzo que traes sobre ti, y ten de él. Y teniéndolo ella, él midió seis [medidas] de cebada, y púsoselas á cuestas: y vínose ella á la ciudad.
16 Así que vino á su suegra, ésta le dijo: ¿Qué pues, hija mía? Y declaróle ella todo lo que con aquel varón le había acontecido.
17 Y dijo: Estas seis [medidas] de cebada me dió, diciéndome: Porque no vayas vacía á tu suegra.
