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.
Ruth 1:11
sons <01121> [are there.]
This alludes to the custom that when a married brother died, without leaving posterity, his brother should take his widow; and the children of such marriages were accounted those of the deceased brother. This address of Naomi to her daughter-in-law is exceedingly tender, persuasive, and affecting.

Ruth 4:6
unable ........................ unable <03201> [I cannot.]
The Targum seems to give the proper sense of this passage: "I cannot redeem it, because I have a wife already; and it is not fit for me to bring another into my house, lest brawling and contention arise in it; and lest I hurt my own inheritance. Do thou redeem it, for thou has no wife; which hinders me from redeeming it."
