Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ruth 2:1-23

Ruth 2:7 . Let me glean. She modestly asked this as a favour, which the law itself had allowed the poor. Ruth 2:10 . She fell on her face, honouring Boaz as a prince and venerable father. Ruth 2:14 . Dip thy morsel in the vinegar. The Israelites used a vinegar made of wine, to cool the body, and counteract the effects of hard labour and excessive heat.

Ruth 2:12The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee.Ruth’s reward; or, cheer for convertsI. what has the young convert done? We illustrate the subject by the instance of Ruth.1. Many young converts deserve encouragement because they have left all their old associates. Ruth, no doubt, had many friends in her native country, but she tore herself away to cling to Naomi and her God.2. Next, Ruth, having left her old companions, had come amongst strangers. She knew Naomi, but in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ruth 2:11

Rth 2:11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. Ver. 11. It hath fully been showed me. ] Her faith to God and love to her mother-in-law was much noted and noticed. See 1 Thessalonians 1:8 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ruth 2:12

Rth 2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. Ver. 12. The Lord recompense thy work. ] Though Ruth lacked the world’s wealth, yet she lacked not good works, such as God regarded and rewarded too. Many Papists, and some as silly, have shrunk up good works to a hand-breadth, to giving of alms. Ruth had no alms to give, and yet her work was with the Lord, who heard this good man’s prayer for her, and... read more
