Letter "S" » sheaves
«Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? / And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: / And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.»
«Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: / Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.»
«SALACITY, n. A certain literary quality frequently observed in popular novels, especially in those written by women and young girls, who give it another name and think that in introducing it they are occupying a neglected field of letters and reaping an overlooked harvest. If they have the misfortune to live long enough they are tormented with a desire to burn their sheaves.»

«In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.»
«When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.»
«They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; / Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.»
