Rute 2:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 2:22

And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law
Observing the charge Boaz had given her, she thought fit to advise her upon it:

it is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens;
that is, go out in the morning with them, set out from Bethlehem when they went to work, and so continue with them all the day:

that they meet thee not in any other field;
the meaning is, either that men might not meet her in another field alone, or rush upon her at once and unawares, and reproach her, or beat her, or indeed force her; or else that the servants of Boaz might not meet her, or see her in another field, and report it to their master, who would be offended at her; and take it as a slight of his kindness to her; which latter seems rather to be the sense.

Rute 2:22 In-Context

20 Disse NoĂȘmi a sua nora: Bendito seja ele do Senhor, que nĂŁo tem deixado de misturar a sua beneficĂȘncia nem para com os vivos nem para com os mortos. Disse-lhe mais NoĂȘmi: Esse homem Ă© parente nosso, um dos nossos remidores.
21 Respondeu Rute, a moabita: Ele me disse ainda: Seguirås de perto os meus moços até que tenham acabado toda a minha sega.
22 EntĂŁo disse NoĂȘmi a sua nora, Rute: Bom Ă©, filha minha, que saias com as suas moças, e que nĂŁo te encontrem noutro campo.
23 Assim se ajuntou com as moças de Boaz, para respigar até e fim da sega da cevada e do trigo; e morava com a sua sogra.
