‏ Ruth 2:14

v. 14–15: At mealtime, Boaz invited Ruth to eat with his workers. He even gave her food himself, showing humility and kindness (Proverbs 31:20 a). Ruth ate only what she needed and saved the rest. After eating, she went back to work. Boaz also instructed his servants to let Ruth glean among the sheaves and even to leave extra grain for her on purpose (Ruth 2:15 b). He made sure that no one would insult or accuse her of stealing. Boaz’s generosity and protection fulfilled what God’s law commanded and set an example of mercy and fairness.
