And when the child was grown
Perhaps was six or seven years of age, or more:
it fell on a day that he went out to his father to the reapers;
it was harvest time, and the men were reaping the corn in the fields; and his father, though a wealthy man, was with them to direct them, and see they did their business well, as Boaz formerly; and the child went out from the house to the field, to see his father and the reapers, for his recreation and diversion.
