This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gleaning was permitted to the poor and the stranger, Deu_24:19, both which she was; nor was she ashamed to confess her poverty, nor would she eat the bread of idleness; whereby she showeth herself to be a prudent, and diligent, and virtuous woman, as she is called, Rth_3:11.
In whose sight I shall find grace; for though it was their duty to permit this, Lev_19:9 23:22, yet either she was ignorant thereof, or thought that, being a stranger, it might be grudged or denied to her; or, at least, that it became her modestly and humbly to acknowledge their kindness herein.
