Midrash sobre Rut 2:7
וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים אַחֲרֵ֖י הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים וַתָּב֣וֹא וַֽתַּעֲמ֗וֹד מֵאָ֤ז הַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה זֶ֛ה שִׁבְתָּ֥הּ הַבַּ֖יִת מְעָֽט׃
Y ha dicho: Ruégote que me dejes coger y juntar tras los segadores entre las gavillas: entró pues, y está desde por la mañana hasta ahora, menos un poco que se detuvo en casa.
Ruth Rabbah
“She said: Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves; so she came, stood from the morning until now, she sat in the house only a bit” (Ruth 2:7).
“She said: Please let me glean and gather…among the sheaves…a bit” – she took only a bit, [which was insufficient even] for herself; how much more so [was it insufficient] for the one sitting in the house waiting for her [Naomi].
