Ruth 3:2-4

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Naomi's solicitude for her devoted daughter-in-law is beautiful and motherly. But the form into which it ran and took shape can never recur in the midst of the culture and customs of European society.

Even the method of winnowing the golden grain of the harvest-field, as referred to in , is antique and obsolete. So, too, is the method which Boaz adopted to watch over his cereal treasures. He constituted himself his own watchman and policeman.
