Rut 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 2:6

And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and
said
Who had taken a great deal of notice of Ruth, and had conversed with her, and so was capable of giving answers to his master's question:

it is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi, out of the
country of Moab;
perhaps he had not got knowledge of her name, and therefore only describes her by the country from whence she came; and by her coming from thence along with Naomi, when she returned from Moab, with whose name Boaz was well acquainted, and of whose return he had been informed; and perhaps had seen her in person, and even Ruth also, though he might have forgot her; the Targum makes the servant to add, that she was become a proselytess.

Rut 2:6 In-Context

4 Mientras estaba allí, llegó Booz de Belén y saludó a los cosechadores:
—¡El Señor
sea con ustedes! —les dijo.
—¡El Señor
lo bendiga! —respondieron los cosechadores.

5 Entonces Booz le preguntó a su capataz:
—¿Quién es esa joven que veo allá? ¿De quién es?

6 Y el capataz le contestó:
—Es la joven moabita que volvió con Noemí.

7 Esta mañana me pidió permiso para recoger grano detrás de los segadores. Desde que llegó no ha dejado de trabajar con esmero, excepto por unos momentos de descanso en el refugio.

8 Booz se acercó a Rut y le dijo:
—Escucha, hija mía. Quédate aquí mismo con nosotros cuando recojas grano; no vayas a ningún otro campo. Sigue muy de cerca a las jóvenes que trabajan en mi campo.
