Ruth 2:17 in Context — Ruth 2

15 Levantou-se logo para tirar espigas. E Boaz mandou a seus criados, dizendo: Colha também espigas entre os feixes, e não a envergonheis;

16 Antes lançareis de propósito dos feixes, e a deixareis que colha, e não a repreendais.

17 E tirou espigas no campo até à tarde, e debulhou o que havia colhido, e foi como um efa de cevada.

18 E tomou-o, e veio à cidade; e sua sogra viu o que havia colhido. Tirou também logo o que lhe havia sobrado depois de farta, e deu-lhe.

19 E disse-lhe sua sogra: Onde tiraste espigas hoje? e onde trabalhaste? Bendito seja o que te reconheceu. E ela declarou à sua sogra o que lhe havia acontecido com aquele, e disse: O nome do homem com quem hoje trabalhei é Boaz.
