SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:15
Luego se levantó para espigar. Y Booz mandó a sus criados, diciendo: Que coja también espigas entre las gavillas, y no la avergoncéis;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ruth 2:15
Verse 15. Let her glean even among the sheaves] This was a privilege; for no person should glean till the sheaves were all bound, and the shocks set up.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And when she was risen up to glean , etc.] 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” f48 , 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-16 - The pious and kind language between Boaz and his reapers shows tha there were godly persons in Israel. Such language as this is seldo heard in our field; too often, on the contrary, what is immoral an corrupt. A stranger would form a very different opinion of our land from that which Ruth would form of Israel from the converse and conduc of Boaz and his reapers. But true religion will teach a man to behav aright in all states and conditions; it will form kind masters an faithful servants, and cause harmony in families. True religion wil cause mutual love and kindness among persons of different ranks. It ha these effects on Boaz and his men. When he came to them he prayed for them. They did not, as soon as he was out of hearing curse him, as some ill-natured servants that hate their master's eye, but they returne his courtesy. Things are likely to go on well where there is suc good-will as this between masters and servants. They expressed their kindness to each other by praying one for another. Boaz inquire concerning the stranger he saw, and ordered her to be well treated Masters must take care, not only that they do no hurt themselves, but that they suffer not their servants and those under them to do wrong Ruth humbly owned herself unworthy of favours, seeing she was born an brought up a heathen. It well becomes us all to think humbly of ourselves, esteeming others better than ourselves. And let us, in the kindness of Boaz to Ruth, note the kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ to poor sinners.
