Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nRut 4:1, Boaz calls into judgment the next kinsman; Rut 4:6, He refuses the redemption according to the manner in Israel; Rut 4:9, Boaz buys the inheritance; Rut 4:11, He marries Ruth; Rut 4:13, She bears Obed, the grandfather of David; Rut 4:18, The generations of Pharez unto David.\nto the gate: Deu 16:18, Deu 17:5, Deu 21:19, Deu 25:7; Job 29:7, Job 31:21; Amo 5:10-12, Amo 5:15\nthe kinsman: Rut 3:12\nthe elders: Exo 18:21, Exo 18:22, Exo 21:8; Deu 29:10, Deu 31:28; Kg1 21:8; Pro 31:23; Lam 5:14; Act 6:12\nI thought: Heb. I said I will reveal in thine ear\nBuy it: Jer 32:7-9, Jer 32:25; Rom 12:17; Co2 8:21; Phi 4:8\nbefore the inhabitants: Gen 23:18; Jer 32:10-12\nfor there is none: Lev 25:25-29\nWhat day: Or rather, according to the emendations proposed by Houbigant and Dr. Kennicott, and which have been confirmed by a great many manuscripts since collated, and agreeably to the ancient versions, \"In the day thou purchasest the land from the hand of Naomi, thou wilt also acquire Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead,\" etc. This is Boaz's statement of the case to his kinsman, before the people and elders.\nto raise up: Rut 3:12, Rut 3:13; Gen 38:8; Deu 25:5, Deu 25:6; Mat 22:24; Luk 20:28\nI cannot: The Targum seems to give the proper sense of this passage: \"I cannot redeem it, because I have a wife already; and it is not fit for me to bring another into my house, lest brawling and contention arise in it; and lest I hurt my own inheritance. Do thou redeem it, for thou has no wife; which hinders me from redeeming it.\" Rut 4:6\na man plucked off: This custom does not refer to the law about refusing to marry a brother's widow, but was usual in the transfer of inheritances. for this relative was not a brother, but simply a kinsman; and the shoe was not pulled off by Ruth, but by the kinsman himself. The Targumist, instead of his shoe, renders \"his right hand glove,\" it probably being the custom, in his time, to give that instead of a shoe. Jarchi says, \"When we purchase anything new, it is customary to give, instead of a shoe, a handkerchief or veil.\" Deu 25:7-10\nYe are witnesses: Gen 23:16-18; Jer 32:10-12\nhave I: Gen 29:18, Gen 29:19, Gen 29:27; Pro 18:22, Pro 19:14, Pro 31:10, Pro 31:11; Hos 3:2, Hos 12:12; Eph 5:25\nthe name: Deu 25:6; Jos 7:9; Psa 34:16, Psa 109:15; Isa 48:19; Zac 13:2\nye are witnesses: Isa 8:2, Isa 8:3; Mal 2:14; Heb 13:4\nthe Lord: Gen 24:60; Psa 127:3-5, Psa 128:3-6\nRachel: Gen 29:32-35, 30:1-24, Gen 35:16-20, 46:8-27; Num. 26:1-65\ndo thou worthily: or, get thee riches, or power\nEphratah: Rut 1:2; Gen 35:16, Gen 35:19; Psa 132:6; Mic 5:2; Mat 2:6\nbe famous: Heb. proclaim thy name\nthe house: Gen 46:12; Num 26:20-22\nwhom: Gen 38:29; Ch1 2:4; Mat 1:3\nof the seed: Sa1 2:20\nam 2697, bc 1307, An, Ex, Is, 184\nBoaz: Rut 3:11\nthe Lord: Rut 4:12; Gen 20:17, Gen 20:18, Gen 21:1-3, Gen 25:21, Gen 29:31, Gen 30:2, Gen 30:22, Gen 30:23, Gen 33:5; Sa1 1:27; Rut 2:5; Psa 113:9, Psa 127:3\nthe women: Luk 1:58; Rom 12:15; Co1 12:26\nBlessed: Gen 29:35; Psa 34:1-3, Psa 103:1, Psa 103:2; Th1 5:18; Th2 1:3\nwhich hath: Gen 24:27\nleft thee: Heb. caused to cease unto thee\nkinsman: or, redeemer\nthat his: Rut 4:21, Rut 4:22; Gen 12:2; Isa 11:1-4; Matt. 1:5-20\na nourisher: etc. Heb. to nourish thy grey hairs, Gen 45:11, Gen 47:12; Psa 55:22; Isa 46:4\nfor thy: Rut 1:16-18\nthe women: Luk 1:58-63\nObed: That is, \u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03b5\u03c5\u03c9\u03bd, serving, or a servant, as Josephus interprets it.
