Rut 2:11-12

11 —Sí, lo sé —respondió Booz—; pero también sé todo lo que has hecho por tu suegra desde la muerte de tu esposo. He oído que dejaste a tu padre y a tu madre, y a tu tierra natal, para vivir aquí entre gente totalmente desconocida.

12 Que el Señor
, Dios de Israel, bajo cuyas alas viniste a refugiarte, te recompense abundantemente por lo que hiciste.

Rut 2:11-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO RUTH 2

In this chapter we have an account of Ruth's gleaning corn in the fields of Boaz, a relation of Naomi, Ru 2:1-3, and of Boaz coming to his reapers, whom he saluted in a very kind manner; and observing a woman gleaning after them, inquired of them who she was, and they informed him, Ru 2:4-9, upon which he addressed himself to her, and gave her leave to glean in his field, and desired her to go nowhere else, and bid her eat and drink with his servants, Ru 2:8-14 and gave directions to his servants to let her glean, and to let fall some of the handfuls on purpose, that she might gather them up, Ru 2:15-17 and then an account is given of her returning to her mother-in-law with her gleanings, to whom she related where she had gleaned, who was owner of the field, and what he had said to her, upon which Naomi gave her advice, Ru 2:18-23.
