Ruth 2:10

Ruth 2:10. That thou shouldest take knowledge of me— To take knowledge, in Scripture, frequently signifies to shew kindness, and is the effect of finding grace, 1:e. favour with any one. The reason of this favour from Boaz to Ruth is mentioned in the next verses, which give us a favourable idea of Boaz. The phrase in the 12th verse, under the wings of the Lord, which is very usual with the Psalmist, is a metaphor taken from the Cherubim, whose wings spread over and covered the mercy-seat.
