6. And Boaz said unto her at meal time: come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers; and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied and left thereof (II, 14). R. Jonathan interpreted this verse in six ways. The first refers it to David... The fifth interpretation makes it refer to the Messiah. "Come hither": approach to royal state. "And eat of the bread" refers to the bread of royalty; "And dip thy morsel in the vinegar" refers to his sufferings, as it is said, But he was wounded because of our transgressions (Isa. LIII, 5).
