She said, I pray you, let me glean; she did not boldly intrude herself, but modestly ask leave of us. Hath continued even from the morning until now; she is not retired though idleness, for she hath been diligent and constant in her labours. In the house; not in Naomi's house, as many understand it, as may be gathered from Ruth 2:18,19, but 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 or others might retire for a little repose or repast at fit times. Being weary with her continued labours she comes hither to take a little rest.
