[2:5]  1 tn Heb “said to.” Since what follows is a question, “asked” is appropriate in this context.

[2:5]  2 tn Heb “young man.” Cf. NAB “overseer”; NIV, NLT “foreman.”

[2:5]  3 sn In this patriarchal culture Ruth would “belong” to either her father (if unmarried) or her husband (if married).

[4:2]  4 tn Heb “and he took ten men from the elders of the town.”
