וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י בָֽעֳמָרִ֔ים אַחֲרֵ֖י הַקּוֹצְרִ֑ים

If your language would not use a direct quotation inside of a direct quotation, you could translate this second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “She asked me if she could glean and gather among the bundles of grain after the reapers”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
אֲלַקֳטָה־נָּא֙ וְאָסַפְתִּ֣י
glean please and,gather
The two words glean and gather express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this idea in a different way. Alternate translation: “Please let me glean by gathering”

הַבַּ֖יִת
the,shelter
Here, the house was a temporary shelter or garden hut in the field that provided shade from the sun where the workers could rest. Alternate translation: “in the hut” or “in the shed”
2:7 in the shelter: Many farmers in Israel’s hill country erected shelters beside their fields for use during the harvest. Workers used these shelters for shade during lunch or other break times during the long, hard workday. Such shelters can still be seen in parts of the hill country.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
