Question source
Ruth
Boaz measured out six measures of barley and gave it to Ruth to take back. Ruth brought it to Naomi as part of her report. The gift is recorded in Ruth 3:15–17.
15He said, Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it; and she held it; and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city.
16When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? She told her all that the man had done to her.
17She said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said, "Don`t go empty to your mother-in-law."
