Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 2:18

And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. Believers love to spread abroad the savor of Jesus' name; and, as the apostle speaks, are ready to distribute, and willing to communicate. 1 Timothy 6:18 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 2:19

And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought today is Boaz. The enquiry of Naomi, and the pious acknowledgment of the Lord's hand in Ruth's success for the day's labour, suggests to us a most useful examination, which believers in Jesus should always make at the chose of the day. Where hath been... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 2:20

And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. How very sweet and interesting is this even as an history, considered in' the way of God's providence. There was but one man in Israel by right of inheritance, as the Goel-kinsman of the decayed house of Elimelech, that could repair their broken circumstances, and redeem their... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ruth 2:21

And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. Delightful thought! Jesus not only gives plentifully and suitably to his distressed relations, but he enjoins them to come again and again, and not to go to glean in the fields of another. He that overcometh (saith Jesus) shall inherit all things: and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son. Revelation 21:7 . We need not go elsewhere. We have all and abound. Blessed... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ruth 2:20

Dead. He hath not forgotten Elimelech, his friend, for whose sake he treats his daughter-in-law with kindness. (Haydock) --- Kinsman. Hebrew adds, "one of our redeemers, (Calmet) or next kinsmen." (Haydock) --- To such the right of avenging the slain, of marrying the widow of the deceased, and entering upon his property, belonged. The best interpreters suppose that Booz was the nephew of Elimelech. (Calmet) (Leviticus xxv. 25., and Deuteronomy xxv. 5.) (Menochius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 2:17-23

17-23 It encourages industry, that in all labour, even that of gleaning, there is profit. Ruth was pleased with what she gained by her own industry, and was careful to secure it. Let us thus take care that we lose not those things which we have wrought, which we have gained for our souls' good, 2 John 1:8. Parents should examine their children, as Naomi did, not to frighten or discourage them, so as to make them hate home, or tempt them to tell a lie; but to commend them if they have done well,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ruth 2:18-23

The Pleasure of Naomi v. 18. And she took it up and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought forth, from a pocket or from a special package, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed, the amount of roasted grain which she had saved from her plentiful meal in the field. v. 19. And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today, and where wroughtest thou? This was a question of astonishment at the large quantity... read more

Ruth 2:18-23The Beginning of the Blessing18And she took it up, and went [came] into the city: and her mother-in-law saw22 what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved 19[left over] after she was sufficed [satisfied]. 19And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest23 thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge [friendly notice] of thee. And she shewed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ruth 2:14-23

Kindness to the Stranger Ruth 2:14-23 From the time of the Exodus, kind and thoughtful references are made to the strangers within the gates, Deuteronomy 5:14 ; Deuteronomy 10:19 . These injunctions found beautiful exemplification in Boaz. How careful should be we who live on a higher level, so far as the knowledge of God is concerned, that we exceed the ancient Hebrews in tender regard for the lonely and bereaved! A desolate woman, whose husband had met with an accident, and was without... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ruth 2:1-23

The women went home to poverty, where the practical problems of life faced them. These were, of course, rendered the more difficult by the fact that Ruth was a Moabitess. Yet she it was who faced the fight and went forth as a gleaner to gather what would suffice for their present sustenance. The human side of things is beautifully expressed in the words, "Her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz." All the issues reveal the divine overruling. In this story of Ruth... read more
