OET-LV And_ Noˊₒmī _she/it_took DOM the_child and_she_placed_him on_bosom_of_her and_it_became to_him/it (into)_a_nurse.

OET (OET-RV) Then No’omi picked up the baby and held him closely and became like second mother to him.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:13–17: Boaz and Ruth married and had a son

This section tells us about Boaz marrying Ruth and the birth of their son Obed. After Obed was born, the women of the town spoke encouraging words to Naomi.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Ruth gave birth to Naomi’s grandson

Boaz married Ruth and they had a son

4:16a

And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap,

And Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as took is a general word that here means “took in her arms.”

on her lap: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as lap indicates a place on the body where one would hold an infant. Use a phrase in your language that means that Naomi was sitting and holding the baby.

Here are some other ways to translate this verse part:

Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her lap (ESV)

Naomi took the boy, held him in her arms (NCV)

Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast (NLT)

Naomi took the child, held him close (GNT)

4:16b

and became a nurse to him.

and became a nurse to him: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as became a nurse to him means that Naomi “took care of" or “looked after" the baby. This is another way of saying that Naomi watched over the boy and helped feed and protect him. This does not mean that Naomi gave breast milk to the baby or that she took care of him only when he was ill.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

and she became his foster-mother (REB)

and she cared for him as if he were her own (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠תִּקַּ֨ח נָעֳמִ֤י אֶת־הַ⁠יֶּ֨לֶד֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took Nāˊₒmī DOM the,child and,she,placed_him on,bosom_of,her and=it_became to=him/it (into)_a,nurse )

The phrase And Naomi took the child does not mean that she took him away from Ruth in any hostile way. This probably indicates that Naomi held the child for a kind of ceremony of adoption.

וַ⁠תְּהִי־ל֖⁠וֹ לְ⁠אֹמֶֽנֶת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took Nāˊₒmī DOM the,child and,she,placed_him on,bosom_of,her and=it_became to=him/it (into)_a,nurse )

Alternate translation: [and she took care of him]
