Ruth 2:18-20 BSB

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 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 what she had left after she had had sufficient.’ Ruth then returned home and showed Naomi what she had gleaned, and she also gave her what remained of the parched grain that she had been given at mealtime. She ‘brought forth’ (‘drew out’) the spare parched grain, probably out of a kind of pocket that she had made with her robe. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 2:19

‘ And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? And where have you wrought? Blessed be he who took notice of you.” 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.” Naomi seemingly gathered from the quantity of grain that Ruth had brought that someone had been especially kind towards her (‘blessed be he who took notice of you’), and asked her where she had been working, and in whose field she had been... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 2:20

‘ And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he of YHWH, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.” And Naomi said to her, “The man is near of kin to us, one of our near kinsmen.” At this Naomi’s heart rejoiced, for she saw in it the hand of YHWH, recognising by it that He had overlooked neither her and Ruth, nor her dead husband and sons. It appeared to her that YHWH had taken note of their plight and had the intention after all of producing sons to carry on the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ruth 2:1-23

Ruth 2:1-Isaiah : . The Meeting of Boaz and Ruth.— Naomi’ s “ kinsman”— quite a different word from the “ near kinsman” (goë l) of Ruth 2:20— is introduced in Heb. words which sometimes denoted “ a wealthy man,” and sometimes “ a valiant man,” so that a peaceful farmer like Boaz is characterised in the same terms as warriors like Gideon and Jephthah ( Judges 6:12; Judges 11:1). The name Boaz may mean “ in Him is strength.” Ruth 2:2 . It was a custom, and it became a law, in Israel that the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ruth 2:18

Or, that which she had left of her fulness, or after she was satisfied. She did eat as much as she desired of what she had gleaned, and her mother, as I suppose, with her, and the residue she gave to her mother to lay up for future use. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ruth 2:20

And to the dead, i.e. which he formerly showed to those who are now dead, to wit, my husband and his sons whilst they were living, and now continues to us, their wives, who are now alive. One of our next kinsmen; Heb. one of our redeemers, or avengers, to whom it belongs to avenge our persons, and to redeem our lands, and to marry thee, the widow and relict of his next kinsman, as is expressed, Ruth 3:9. She saith one of them, not that there were many who were immediately such, but that he was... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 2:1-23

Ruth 1-4 The Book of Ruth is a love-story told in four chapters. It gives us a glimpse of everyday life in Bethlehem; in home and in harvest-field, in its general gossip and its law-suits, more than three thousand years ago. I. Glancing back over the lines of this sweet and pure pastoral idyll, we feel that rarely did human story more impressively demonstrate the unspeakable worth of lowly folk, the fine and favourable issues of seemingly suppressed lives, the hidden wealth of true and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ruth 2:19

Ruth 2:19 I. There are some whose only chance of gaining knowledge is by gleaning. Their education has been neglected, and their time for reading is limited. To such let me say: (1) Glean where the corn grows and lies near at hand. You will not find the corn by the wayside or on the moor, It is not in all company that you may glean wisdom. To the most of us, Where hast thou gleaned? is but another way of saying, What hast thou got as the result of thy life? (2) To glean successfully we must be... read more
