Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but abide here close by my maidens:

Commentaries on Ruth 2:6
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-16Verses 4-16 The pious and kind language between Boaz and his reapers shows that there were godly persons in Israel.

The same patriarchal style of speaking is still preserved in the East.Read the comment
