In Jewish tradition

Here it means a small packet of money tied up and put in a sack. In Ruth it means bundles of cut grain, from which the reapers were told to pull out some stalks for Ruth to glean.

Interpretation. The rabbis read Boaz's order to leave extra grain as an example of kindness that spares the poor from shame.

Examples
