Ruth 4:2

4:2 Boaz chose ten of the village leaders ¹  and said, “Sit down here!” So they sat down.

Ruth 1:4

1:4 So her sons ²  married ³  Moabite women. (One was named Orpah and the other Ruth.) ⁴  And they continued to live there about ten years.

¹ tn Heb “and he took ten men from the elders of the town.”

² tn Heb “they.” The verb is 3rd person masculine plural referring to Naomi’s sons, as the translation indicates.

³ tn Heb “and they lifted up for themselves Moabite wives.” When used with the noun “wife,” the verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “to lift up, carry, take”) forms the idiom “to take a wife,” that is, to marry (BDB 673 s.v. Qal.3.d; 2 Chr 11:21; 13:21; 24:3; Ezra 9:2,12; 10:44; Neh 13:25).

⁴ tn Heb “the name of the one [was] Orpah and the name of the second [was] Ruth.”
