Ruth 1:14
Orpah <06204> [Orpah.]
Ruth <07327> [but Ruth.]
The LXX. add, [kai epestrepsen eis ton laon autes,] "and returned to her own people." The Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic are to the same purpose. It seems a very natural addition, and agrees with the assertion in the next verse; and is accordingly adopted by Houbigant as a part of the text.
Ruth 2:23
Ruth 2:8
dear <01323> [my daughter.]
beyond <05674> [neither.]
limits <01692> [abide.]
Ruth 2:21
gathering <01692> [Thou shalt.]
servants <05288> [young men.]
The word {hann‰ƒrim} should be translated the servants; both male and female being included in it, the latter especially: see ver. 8, 22, 23.
