Rut 3:17

Listen to Rut 3:17
17 Y dijo: Me dio estas seis medidas de cebada, pues dijo: "No vayas a tu suegra con las manos vacías."

Rut 3:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 3:17

And she said, these six measures of barley gave he me
Which she laid down before her, which was a proof of his kindness to her, that she was acceptable to him, and had well sped; of these six measures, see ( Ruth 3:15 ) which by some are allegorically interpreted of six blessings that should be bestowed upon her, as the spirit of wisdom, understanding as ( Isaiah 11:2 ) so Jarchi; or of six persons that should spring from her, as David, Daniel, and his companions, and the King Messiah, as the Targum:

for he said unto me, go not empty unto thy mother in law;
which, as it expressed a regard to Naomi, and a compassionate concern for her support, so would give her assurance of the success Ruth met with, she would relate to her.

15 Dijo además: Dame el manto que tienes puesto y sujétalo. Y ella lo sujetó, y él midió seis medidas de cebada y se las puso encima. Entonces ella entró en la ciudad.
16 Cuando llegó a donde estaba su suegra, ésta dijo: ¿Cómo te fue, hija mía? Y le contó todo lo que el hombre había hecho por ella.
17 Y dijo: Me dio estas seis medidas de cebada, pues dijo: "No vayas a tu suegra con las manos vacías."
18 Entonces Noemí dijo: Espera, hija mía, hasta que sepas cómo se resolverá el asunto; porque el hombre no descansará hasta que lo haya arreglado hoy.
