Rut 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 2:5

Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers,
&c.] To direct them their work, what part each was to do, and to see that they did it well; to take care for provisions for them, and to pay them their wages when their work was done. Josephus F20 calls him (agrokomov) , that had the care of the field, and all things relative to it; the Jews F21 say, he was set over two and forty persons, whom he had the command of:

whose damsel is this?
to whom does she belong? of what family is she? whose daughter is she? or whose wife? for he thought, as Aben Ezra notes, that she was another man's wife; the Targum is, of what nation is she? perhaps her dress might be somewhat different from that of the Israelitish women.

Rut 2:5 In-Context

3 Fue pues, y llegando, espig贸 en el campo en pos de los segadores; y aconteci贸 a caso, que la suerte (o heredad ) del campo era de Booz, el cual era de la parentela de Elimelec.
4 Y he aqu铆 que Booz vino de Bel茅n, y dijo a los segadores: El SE脩OR sea con vosotros. Y ellos respondieron: El SE脩OR te bendiga.
5 Y Booz dijo a su criado, el que estaba puesto sobre los segadores: 驴Cuya es esta joven?
6 Y el criado, que estaba puesto sobre los segadores, respondi贸 y dijo: Es la joven de Moab, que volvi贸 con Noem铆 de los campos de Moab;
7 y ha dicho: Te ruego que me dejes coger y juntar espigas tras los segadores entre las gavillas: entr贸 pues , y est谩 desde por la ma帽ana hasta ahora, menos un poco que ha estado en casa.
