17 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

19 Her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? and where have you worked? blessed be he who did take knowledge of you. She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man`s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
