Commentary on Ruth 2:18
Ruth returns to Naomi: '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'. The large amount of grain visibly demonstrated God's provision. The phrase 'brought forth...that she had reserved' refers to the food from Boaz's meal (v. 14)—Ruth saved leftovers for Naomi, demonstrating selfless care. Rather than consuming all the special food Boaz provided, she saved portion for her mother-in-law, exemplifying covenant loyalty and practical love.
