Part A' of this episode (vv. 15–16) consists of a conversation between Boaz and his workers about Ruth and her gleaning. When Ruth resumes gleaning, Boaz orders his workers to let her glean between the sheaves themselves without trouble45 and even commands them without fail to pull out stalks of grain from the handfuls the men cut and leave them behind for her—an unheard-of favor. He concludes by charging them once again not to drive her away.46
