Commentary on Ruth 2:15
Boaz commands his workers: 'Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not'. This exceeds gleaning law requirements—typically gleaners worked only field edges and gathered what harvesters dropped. Boaz permits Ruth to glean among the standing sheaves where grain is abundant, not merely leftovers. The command 'reproach her not' (lo takhlimuha) forbids shaming or embarrassing her, protecting her dignity. This demonstrates that biblical generosity provides not just material aid but preserves recipients' honor and dignity.
