Rute 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 4:5

Then said Boaz
In order to try the kinsman, whether he would abide by his resolution, he acquaints him with what he had as yet concealed:

what day thou buyest the field of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth
the Moabitess, the wife of the dead;
the wife of Mahlon, who was dead, the eldest son of Naomi, and so his widow, Ruth the Moabitess, had the reversion of the estate; wherefore the purchase must be made of her as well as of Naomi, and the purchase could not be made of her without marrying her; which, though no law obliged to, yet it seems to be a condition of the purchase annexed to it by Naomi, that she would sell it to no man, unless he would consent to marry Ruth, for whose settlement she had a great concern, having been very dutiful and affectionate to her; which is clearly intimated in the next clause:

to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance;
and so Naomi had another end to answer thereby, not only to provide a good husband for her daughter-in-law, but to perpetuate the name of her son, agreeably to the design of the law in ( Deuteronomy 25:5 ) .

Rute 4:5 In-Context

3 Disse Boaz ao remidor: Noêmi, que voltou da terra dos moabitas, vendeu a parte da terra que pertencia a Elimeleque; nosso irmão.
4 Resolvi informar-te disto, e dizer-te: Compra-a na presença dos que estão sentados aqui, na presença dos anciãos do meu povo; se hás de redimi-la, redime-a, e se não, declara-mo, para que o saiba, pois outro não há, senão tu, que a redima, e eu depois de ti. Então disse ele: Eu a redimirei.
5 Disse, porém, Boaz: No dia em que comprares o campo da mão de Noêmi, também tomarás a Rute, a moabita, que foi mulher do falecido, para suscitar o nome dele na sua herança.
6 Então disse o remidor: Não poderei redimi-lo para mim, para que não prejudique a minha própria herança; toma para ti o meu direito de remissão, porque eu não o posso fazer.
7 Outrora em Israel, para confirmar qualquer negócio relativo � remissão e � permuta, o homem descalçava o sapato e o dava ao seu próximo; e isto era por testemunho em Israel.
