Ruth ... said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean - The right of gleaning was conferred by a positive law on the widow, the poor, and the stranger (see on Lev 19:9 and Deu 24:19). But liberty to glean behind the reapers [Rth 2:3] was not a right that could be claimed; it was a privilege granted or refused according to the good will or favor of the owner.
