Ruth 2:7
_ _ she said ... Let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves — Various modes of reaping are practiced in the East. Where the crop is thin and short, it is plucked up by the roots. Sometimes it is cut with the sickle. Whether reaped in the one way or the other, the grain is cast into sheaves loosely thrown together, to be subjected to the process of threshing, which takes place, for the most part, immediately after the reaping. Field labors were begun early in the morning — before the day became oppressively hot.
_ _ she tarried a little in the house — that is, the field tent, erected for the occasional rest and refreshment of the laborers. |
Ruth 2:7
I pray — She did not boldly intrude herself, but modestly ask leave of us. 'Till now — She is not retired through idleness, for she hath been diligent and constant in her labours. The house — In the little house or tent, which was set up in the fields at these times, and was necessary in those hot countries, where the labourers might retire for a little repose or repast. Being weary with her continued labours, she comes hither to take a little rest. |
- I pray:
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom; and before honour [is] humility.
Proverbs 18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Matthew 5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. ... Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

- continued:
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

- in the house:
- It seems that the reapers were now resting in a tent, erected for that purpose; and that Ruth had just gone in with them, to take her rest also.
