Rute 2:7

And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

I pray — She did not boldly intrude herself, but modestly ask leave of us.

'Till now — She is not retired through idleness, for she hath been diligent and constant in her labours.

The house — In the little house or tent, which was set up in the fields at these times, and was necessary in those hot countries, where the labourers might retire for a little repose or repast. Being weary with her continued labours, she comes hither to take a little rest.
