The Book of Ruth is one of the five megillot (scrolls), part of the section of the Hebrew Bible called Writings, and is traditionally read on the holiday of Shavuot. It tells the story of Ruth, a widow of Moabite origin who insists on staying with her widowed, Israelite mother-in-law, declaring “wherever you go, I will go... your people shall be my people, and your God my God” (1:16). Ruth’s loyalty leads her to the field of her kinsman, Boaz, whom she ultimately marries. Together they have a child, who later becomes the grandfather of King David.

Megillat Ruth in Depth - Part 29
Chapter 3, Lesson 11 (Verses 14 - 16)
After a long night of torturous Temptation, succesfully overcome dawn mercifully arrives. Before day fully breaks, and tongues begin to wag... Boaz and Ruth must escape under the cover of dark. But before the leave, Boaz finds it important that he first gift Ruth Six Grains of Barley. What was that all about and why was such a paltry offering of urgent importance!
