Verse 15

And when she was risen up to glean ,.... After she had ate sufficiently, and refreshed herself, she rose up from her seat to go into the field and glean again; which shows her industry:

Boaz commanded his young men ; the reapers, or who gathered the handfuls, and bound them up in sheaves:

saying, let her glean even among the sheaves ; this she had requested of the reapers when she first came into the field, and it was granted her, 2:7 but this, as it was granted by Boaz himself, so was still a greater favour; and there is some difference in the expression, for it may be rendered here, "among those sheaves" F8 בין העמרים "inter ipsos manipulos", Tigurine version, Rambachius. , pointing to a particular spot where might be the best ears of corn, and where more of them had fallen:

and reproach her not ; as not with her being a poor woman, a widow, a Moabitish woman, so neither with being a thief, or taking such corn she should not, or gleaning where she ought not.
