The phrase And now indicates that what follows is something else important that Ruth should pay attention to, as well as what Boaz introduced by saying “So now” in 3:11. Alternate translation: “Another thing you must know”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וְגַ֛ם

The connector but indicates a contrast between Boaz’s willingness to marry Ruth 3:11 and the possibility of another man marrying her instead 3:12. The contrast can be indicated here or at the beginning of the verse, as in the UST. Alternate translation: “even so” or ”nonetheless”

redeemer & redeemer
See how you translated kinsman-redeemer in 2:20. This term refers to the male relative who was closest in family relationship to a man who died and who had the responsibility to help his widow.
3:12-13 Another man was more closely related to Elimelech than Boaz. He had the first right of refusal to act as family redeemer and (according to most interpreters) to marry Ruth.

OET (OET-RV) It is true that I have a responsibility towards your family, but there’s another man who’s more closely related to you all than me.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
