Footnotes

  1. 15 Heb “she said to her.” The referents (Ruth and Naomi) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 16 The Hebrew imperfect is used, even though Naomi’s instructions appear to be concluded. The imperfect can sometimes express actions which although (strictly speaking) are already finished, yet are regarded as still lasting into the present, or continuing to operate in it ( §107.h).
  3. 17 The (Kethib) lacks the preposition אֵלַי (’elay, “to me”) which is attested in the marginal reading (Qere). Many medieval Hebrew agree with the marginal reading (Qere) by including the phrase.
  4. 18 Heb “everything which you are saying I will do.” The Hebrew word order emphasizes Ruth’s intention to follow Naomi’s instructions to the letter.
