Ruth 2:16 · Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner)
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”

15 And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
16 And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
17 She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod, and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
18 Which she took up, and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover, she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
19 And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz.
