'Gleaned' in the Bible
So Ruth went and picked up the leftover grain in a field after the reapers; and she happened to stop at the plot of land belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
She picked it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. Ruth also took out and gave to Naomi what she had saved after she [had eaten and] was satisfied.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
Woe is me (judgment is coming)! For I amLike one who gathers the summer fruits, like one who gleans the vintage grapes.There is not a cluster of grapes to eat,No first-ripe fig which my appetite craves.
