And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 2 of Ruth. The servant explains that Ruth asked permission to gather grain and has remained working since morning, with only a brief rest. The description highlights her diligence. Ruth does not appear as someone passively waiting for help, but as a widow who uses the opportunities permitted by harvest legislation to support her family.

Denn sie sprach: Laßt mich doch auflesen und sammeln unter den Garben, den Schnittern nach; und ist also gekommen und dagestanden vom Morgen an bis her und bleibt wenig daheim.
Y ha dicho: Ruégote que me dejes coger y juntar tras los segadores entre las gavillas: entró pues, y está desde por la mañana hasta ahora, menos un poco que se detuvo en casa.
Elle a dit: Permettez-moi de glaner et de ramasser des épis entre les gerbes, derrière les moissonneurs. Et depuis ce matin qu'elle est venue, elle a été debout jusqu'à présent, et ne s'est reposée qu'un moment dans la maison.
Ed ella ci ha detto: Deh! lasciate che io spigoli, e raccolga delle spighe fra le mannelle, dietro a’ mietitori. E, dopo ch’ella è entrata nel campo, è stata in piè dalla mattina infino ad ora; pur ora è stata un poco in casa.
Disse-me ela: Deixa-me colher espigas, e ajuntá-las entre as gavelas após os segadores. Assim ela veio, e desde pela manhã está aqui até agora, a não ser um pouco que esteve sentada em casa.
她說:『請你容許我拾取麥穗,在收割的人身後撿禾捆中掉落的麥穗。』她就來了,從早晨直到如今,除了在屋子裏坐一會兒,她都留在這裏。」
