Footnotes
- 65 Or “commanded” (so , , ).
- 66 Heb “even between”; “even around.”
- 67 Heb “do not humiliate her”; cf. “reproach her not”; “do not insult her”; “don’t embarrass her.” This probably refers to a verbal rebuke which would single her out and embarrass her (see v. 16). See R. L. Hubbard, Jr., Ruth (), , and F. W. Bush, Ruth, Esther (), .
- 68 The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis. Here שָׁלַל (shalal, “pull out”) is a homonym of the more common Hebrew verb meaning “to plunder.” An Arabic cognate is used of drawing a sword out of a scabbard (see 1021 ).
- 69 Heb “do not rebuke her” (so , ); “don’t speak harshly to her”; “don’t give her a hard time.”
