Rut 4:15

15 El cual será restaurador de tu alma, y el que te sustentará en tu vejez; pues que tu nuera, la cual te ama, le ha dado a luz; y ella es de más valor para ti que siete hijos

Rut 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 4:15

And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life
Of the joys, pleasures, and comforts of it, which she had been deprived of through the death of her husband and her two sons, ever since which she had lived a sorrowful life; all the comfort she had was from her daughter-in-law, and now a grandchild being born to her of her would be a means of restoring comfort to her mourning sorrowful spirit, and give her pleasure in those years in which she did not expect any:

and a nourisher of thine old age;
that would when grown up feed her, support her, and supply her with all necessaries of life, being heir to a large and rich estate:

for thy daughter in law which loveth thee;
Ruth the wife of Boaz, who had shown her love, in leaving her own country and kindred, to come along with her into a strange land, and who had laboured for her support in it, and still retained the same affection for her:

which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him:
either which had been so in the time of her widowhood, as the Targum; or rather which was so now, being the wife of so rich a person, and having now brought forth a son, heir to the estate, who would be more capable of doing for her than if she had seven sons living, having no other than their paternal estate.

Rut 4:15 In-Context

13 Y así Booz tomó a Rut, y ella fue su mujer; y luego que entró a ella, el SEÑOR le dio que concibiera y diera a luz un hijo

14 Y las mujeres decían a Noemí: Loado sea el SEÑOR, que hizo que no te faltara redentor hoy, cuyo nombre será nombrado en Israel

15 El cual será restaurador de tu alma, y el que te sustentará en tu vejez; pues que tu nuera, la cual te ama, le ha dado a luz; y ella es de más valor para ti que siete hijos

16 Y tomando Noemí el hijo, lo puso en su regazo, y fue su aya

17 Y las vecinas le pusieron nombre diciendo: a Noemí ha nacido un hijo; y le llamaron Obed. Este es padre de Jessé, padre de David
