OET (OET-RV) Then when it was time to eat, Boaz told Ruth, “Come and join us. Take some bread and dip it in the sauce and eat.” So she sat beside the harvesters, and he also offered her some roasted grain. She ate until she was full and even had some left over.
לְעֵ֣ת הָאֹ֗כֶל

Alternate translation: "at the time of the midday meal"
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
גֹּ֤שִֽׁי הֲלֹם֙ וְאָכַ֣לְתְּ מִן־הַלֶּ֔חֶם וְטָבַ֥לְתְּ פִּתֵּ֖ךְ בַּחֹ֑מֶץ
come here and,eat from/more_than the,bread and,dip morsel,your in/on/at/with,wine_vinegar
The verbs in this sentence are imperatives that communicate a gracious invitation rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a gracious invitation. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “Please come, and help yourself to the bread and dip it in the vinegar”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וְאָכַ֣לְתְּ מִן־הַלֶּ֔חֶם וְטָבַ֥לְתְּ פִּתֵּ֖ךְ בַּחֹ֑מֶץ
and,eat from/more_than the,bread and,dip morsel,your in/on/at/with,wine_vinegar
It would be necessary to dip the bread and then eat it, so it might be more natural in your language to put the information about dipping the bread first. Alternate translation: “and dip some of this bread in the vinegar and eat it”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
וְטָבַ֥לְתְּ פִּתֵּ֖ךְ בַּחֹ֑מֶץ
and,dip morsel,your in/on/at/with,wine_vinegar
This was a simple meal eaten in the field. People would sit on the ground around a cloth that had a bowl of wine vinegar on it and pieces of broken bread. They would take a piece of bread and dip it in the wine vinegar to add flavor before they ate it. The Israelites made vinegar from grape juice that was fermented beyond the point of being wine. At the vinegar stage, the juice becomes very sour and acidic. Alternate translation: "and please dip your piece of bread in the wine vinegar first"
2:14 By sharing his meal with Ruth, Boaz extended hospitality far beyond the call of duty.
