[1:11]  1 tn Heb “Why would you want to come with me?” Naomi’s rhetorical question expects a negative answer. The phrase “to Judah” is added in the translation for clarification.

[1:11]  2 tn Heb “Do I still have sons in my inner parts that they might become your husbands?” Again Naomi’s rhetorical question expects a negative answer.

[4:15]  3 tn Heb “and he will become for you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age” (NASB similar).

[4:15]  4 tn Heb “who, she”; KJV “which is better to thee.”
