Rut 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 2:13

Then she said, let me find favour in thy sight, my lord
Or rather, since she had found favour in his sight already: the words are to be considered, not as a wish for it, but as acknowledging it, and expressing her faith and confidence, that she should for time to come find favour in his sight, and have other instances of it; for so the words may be rendered, "I shall find favour" F26, for which she gives the following reasons:

for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly
unto thine handmaid;
had spoken in her commendation, and wished her all happiness here and hereafter; said kind and comfortable words to her, to her very heart, as in ( Isaiah 40:2 ) which were cheering, refreshing, and reviving to her:

though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens;
not worthy to be one of them, or to be ranked with them, being meaner than the meanest of them, a poor widow, and a Moabitish woman; the Septuagint and Syriac versions leave out the negative particle, and read, "I shall be as one of thine handmaids".

12 El SE脩OR galardone tu obra, y tu remuneraci贸n sea llena por el SE脩OR Dios de Israel; que has venido para cubrirte debajo de sus alas.
13 Y ella dijo: Se帽or m铆o, halle yo gracia delante de tus ojos; porque me has consolado, y porque has hablado al coraz贸n de tu sierva, no siendo yo ni aun como una de tus criadas.
14 Y Booz le dijo a la hora de comer: All茅gate aqu铆, y come del pan, y moja tu bocado en el vinagre. Y se sent贸 ella junto a los segadores, y 茅l le dio del potaje, y comi贸 hasta que se saci贸 y le sobr贸.
15 Luego se levant贸 para espigar. Y Booz mand贸 a sus criados, diciendo: Que coja tambi茅n espigas entre las gavillas, y no la avergonc茅is;
