Ruth 2:16 is part of a narrative where Boaz, a landowner, ensures that Ruth, a widow and foreigner, is treated with kindness as she gathers leftover grain. This act of generosity reflects the laws of gleaning in Israel, allowing the poor to collect what remains after the harvest, as outlined in Deuteronomy 24:19-21. Boaz's instructions highlight the importance of compassion and support for those in need.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
