“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.”
Ruth's return to the city with her grain harvest and her gift of the leftovers from her lunch to Naomi demonstrate her continued commitment to her mother-in-law's provision and her willingness to share even the good things that have come to her. Naomi's questioning about where Ruth gleaned and blessing of the man who showed her such kindness reveal her immediate perception that something remarkable has happened. The abundance Ruth brings home begins to transform Naomi's circumstances and her assessment of their future prospects.
