Kaya siya ay namulot sa bukid hanggang sa gabi, at hinampas niya ang kanyang mga napulot upang ihiwalay ang butil, at iyon ay umabot sa halos isang efa ng sebada.

“She gleaned in the field until evening, and she beat what she had gleaned, and it was approximately an ephah of barley. She carried it, and came to the city. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and she took it out and gave to her what she had left over after she was sated” (Ruth 2:17-18).
“She gleaned in the field until evening…[an ephah of barley].” How much is an ephah? It is three se’a, as we learned: The ephah is three se’a (Menaḥot 76b). “She carried it, and came to the city.”
