SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–23: Ruth gathered grain in a field belonging to Boaz

This third section in the book of Ruth tells how Ruth met Boaz. Since Naomi and Ruth were poor at this time, Ruth asked Naomi for permission to glean in the grain fields in order to find them some food.

Ruth chose a field in which to glean. Although she did not know it, the man who owned that field, Boaz, was a relative of Elimelech. Boaz had heard about Ruth already, but he had not met her. He was sympathetic and kind to her that day, and told her to continue to work in his field during the rest of the harvest time.

That evening, Ruth returned home and told Naomi that the owner of the field where she had gleaned was called Boaz and that he had treated her well. Naomi was very pleased. She encouraged Ruth to continue to work there just as Boaz had invited her to do.

Here are some other examples of section headings:

Ruth Meets Boaz (ESV)

Ruth Works in the Field of Boaz (NET)

2:6a

The foreman answered,

2:6b

“She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.

2:6a–b

The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab: In the Hebrew text, the foreman, or overseer, first explained that Ruth was a young Moabite woman. Then he added that she was the one who returned with Naomi from Moab. He implied that Boaz already knew that one of Naomi’s daughters-in-law had returned with her.

The foreman’s response may reflect a negative, neutral, or positive attitude. There is no consensus among the scholars. For this reason, it is recommended that you translate (and express in oral or video translation) the attitude of the foreman in a neutral way. He simply responded in a truthful way to Boaz’s question.

Here are some other ways to translate these verse parts:

And the foreman replied, “She is the young woman from Moab who came back with Naomi. (NLT)

The servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, “She is the Moabite who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. (NRSV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֗עַן & וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֑ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered the,servant [who,was]_appointed on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,harvesters and,he_said young_~_woman Mōʼāⱱite she/it who,she_returned with Nāˊₒmī from,the_region_of Mōʼāⱱ )

The two words answered and said express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this idea in a different way. Alternate translation: [Then … answered him by saying] or [Then … said]
