"...[Ruth] went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter."
Ruth knew her life with Naomi would not be easy, but she settled into it without complaint. Soon after they arrived in Israel, Ruth offered to work harvesting grain in order to provide for herself and her mother-in-law (v. 2).
She worked diligently, swallowing her pride and probably taking some personal risk (v. 9). Her only desire was to feed her small family, but others noticed her dedication and she was rewarded for it (v. 7-16).
