# the Moabite woman "the woman from Moab" # glean what remains among the ears of grain "pick up the kernels of grain that the harvesters leave behind" # the ears "the heads" or "the stalks." The "ears" are the parts of a grain plant that contain the grain. # anyone in whose eyes I will find favor "anyone who will be kind to me" or "anyone who will give me me permission to glean" # my daughter Ruth was caring for Naomi as if she were her own mother, so Naomi called her "daughter".
