Parallel

Ruth 3:15

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went into the city.
And he told her, “Bring the shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he poured in six measures of barley (note: Possibly six seahs (two ephahs), or approximately 39.6 dry quarts or 43.8 liters (about 58 pounds or 26.3 kilograms of barley)) and placed it on her. Then he went (note: Most Hebrew manuscripts; many Hebrew manuscripts, Vulgate, and Syriac she went) into the city.
