Ruth 2:18
"And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And she took it up,.... The ephah of barley, into her arms, or on her shoulders: and went into the city; the city of Bethlehem: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: she set it down before her, and she looked

at it with admiration, that she should glean so much in one day: and she brought forth; not Naomi, as Josephus (k) represents it, who understood it as if she brought forth some food her neighbours had brought her, part of which she kept for Ruth, though he takes it in the other sense also; but the meaning is, that Ruth brought forth out of a scrip, as the Targum adds; besides the ephah of barley she set before her, she brought some victuals out of a bag: and gave to her, that she had reserved after she was sufficed; not that she ate of the barley, and her mother-in-law also; and then she gave her the rest to lay up against another time, as some interpret it; but the remainder of the food which Boaz gave her at dinner time, which she could not eat, Rut 2:14 she reserved for her mother, and now gave it to her; an instance of that piety commended by the apostle, Ti1 5:4 . (k) Antiqu l. 5. c. 9. sect. 2.
