Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ruth 2:1-23
Ruth 2:7 . Let me glean. She modestly asked this as a favour, which the law itself had allowed the poor. Ruth 2:10 . She fell on her face, honouring Boaz as a prince and venerable father. Ruth 2:14 . Dip thy morsel in the vinegar. The Israelites used a vinegar made of wine, to cool the body, and counteract the effects of hard labour and excessive heat. It was mostly mixed with a proportion of oil to give it an agreeable flavour. Ruth 2:17 . An ephah contained ten omers, or about... read more

Ruth 2:18She took it up, and went into the city.Careful of the fruit of labourIt is no less necessary to be careful of the fruit of our labours than to labour with diligence. “In all labour there is profit,” says the wise man; yet there are some that labour for the wind. They lose what they have wrought because they suffer it, through their carelessness, to slip through their fingers. This folly, however, is much less frequent in things relating to the body than in those which relate to the... read more

In this world but little can be accomplished without energy and enterprise. In every department this is true.2.

Forms of activity, how diversified they are. There is not... read more

Ruth 2:20Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off His kindness.God’s blessing1. In its nature it is “kindness”--the very soul of tenderness to the God-fearing among men.2. In its continuance. He cannot “leave off” making His children happy.3. In its application to both worlds--to the “living,” as the song of a Ruth may testify; to the “dead,” as the hope of a Naomi must imply. Both are in the covenant of the God of Israel.4. In its expression. He knows how to prepare some lip to give it... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ruth 2:18
Rth 2:18 And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. Ver. 18.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 2:19
Ruth 2:19 I. There are some whose only chance of gaining knowledge is by gleaning. Their education has been neglected, and their time for reading is limited. To such let me say: (1) Glean where the corn grows and lies near at hand. You will not find the corn by the wayside or on the moor, It is not in all company that you may glean wisdom. To the most of us, Where hast thou gleaned? is but another way of saying, What hast thou got as the result of thy life? (2) To glean successfully we must be... read more
