1 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.
Upon this stood stuffed specimens of owls, divers, and gulls, and over them bunches of wheat and barley ears, labelled with the date of the year that produced them.
Our present-day harvester cuts off the heads of wheat, threshes it, weighs it, and dumps it into sacks which are thrown off as fast as two expert workmen can sew them up.
So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.
And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, " Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor" . Naomi said to her, " Go ahead, my daughter" .
