וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים אַחֲרֵ֖י הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים וַתָּב֣וֹא וַֽתַּעֲמ֗וֹד מֵאָ֤ז הַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה זֶ֛ה שִׁבְתָּ֥הּ הַבַּ֖יִת מְעָֽט׃
她說：«請讓我跟在收割的人後面，在禾捆之間拾取、收集麥穗。»她就來了，從早晨一直站到現在，只在屋子裡稍坐了片刻。
Ibn Ezra
So she came and has continued. That she always busies herself with her own needs and not with anything else, so she would not be suspected because of her beauty.
