The generations of Pharez unto David The women said to Naomi This phrase highlights the communal aspect of ancient Israelite society, where the community played a significant role in personal and family matters. The women of Bethlehem, who had witnessed Naomi's return in bitterness, now share in her joy. This reflects the Hebrew concept of "chesed," or loving-kindness, which is a recurring theme in the Book of Ruth. The community's involvement underscores the importance of fellowship and support within the body of believers. Blessed be the LORD who has not left you this day without a redeemer May his name become famous in Israel! A kinsman.--That is, the child (See next verse). The word kinsman here is Goel, a redeemer. Verse 14. - And the women said to Naomi, Blessed he Yahveh, who has given thee a kinsman this day! May his name become famous in Israel. Of course it is Ruth's son who is the kinsman referred to, the nearest kinsman, still nearer than Boaz. The kinsman was given, said the women, "this day," the day when the child was born. The expression which we have rendered, "who has given thee a kinsman," is, literally, "who has not caused to fail to thee a kinsman." The sympathetic women who had gathered together in Boaz's house were sanguine, or at least enthusiastically desirous, that a son so auspiciously given, after most peculiar antecedents, would yet become a famous name in Israel. Canon Cook supposes that the kinsman referred to by the women was not the child, but his father, Boaz ('Speaker's Commentary,' in loc.). Yet it is obvious that the kinsman specified was the one who, as they said, had been given, or had not been caused to fail, "that day." He was, moreover, the one of whom they went on to say, "May his name become famous in Israel, and may he be to thee a restorer of life, and for the support of thine old age," etc. Dr. Cook's objections are founded on a too narrow view of the functions devolving on, and of the privileges accruing to, a goel.Parallel Commentaries ...
