Tadi ia berkata: Izinkanlah kiranya aku memungut dan mengumpulkan jelai dari antara berkas-berkas jelai ini di belakang penyabit-penyabit. Begitulah ia datang dan terus sibuk dari pagi sampai sekarang dan seketikapun ia tidak berhenti."
Maka ia telah berkata demikian: Biarlah aku pergi memungut dan mengumpulkan mayang di belakang orang pemotong dekat dengan berkas-berkas. Begitu juga ia sudah datang dan tetaplah ia dalam berbuat begitu dari pagi-pagi hari sampai sekarang, maka sekarang ia duduk dalam pondok baharu sekejap.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she said,.... These are the words of the servant continued, who goes on with the account of Ruth, and her conduct, since she had been in the field:
I pray you let me glean, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: for though by the law of Israel she had a right, as a poor widow and stranger, to glean, yet as the owner of the field, and his servants, by his appointment, under him, might have power of fixing the time when such might glean, and of judging who were the proper persons to be admitted, Ruth in her great modesty and meekness did not choose to enter on this work without leave:
so she came; into the field and gleaned, having obtained leave:
and hath continued even from the morning until now; had been very diligent and industrious in gathering up the loose ears of corn among the sheaves, as she followed the reapers cutting down and binding up the corn in sheaves; she began pretty early in the morning, and had stuck close to it till that time, which may be supposed to be about noon, or pretty near it, for as yet it was not mealtime, Ruth 2:14. The Septuagint version is therefore very wrong, which reads
"from the morning until the evening,''
for that was not yet come, Ruth 2:17 but
she tarried a little in the house; not that she went home to the city, and stayed a little in the house of Naomi her mother, and then returned again, for she went not home until the evening, Ruth 2:17, but the meaning of the passage is, that she had been constant and diligent in gleaning all the morning, only a very little time that she was in the house, which was in the field; either a farm house of Boaz adjoining to the field; or rather a cottage or booth, as Aben Ezra interprets it, which was in the field, whither the reapers betook themselves when they ate their meals; or to shelter themselves under the shade of it, as Abendana, from the heat of the sun at noonday; and here Ruth set herself down awhile for a little rest, and ease, and refreshment; and some think she was here when Boaz came, and therefore took the more notice of her.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The house - The shed or booth where they took their meals, and were sheltered from the sun in the heat of the day (see Genesis 33:17).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ruth 2:7. That she tarried a little in the house. — It seems as if the reapers were now resting in their tent, and that Ruth had just gone in with them to take her rest also.
