Ruth 3:1-4

3:1

find <01245> [shall I not.]

secure <03190> [may be.]


3:2

Boaz <01162> [is not Boaz.]

female servants <05291> [with whose.]

winnowing <02219> [he winnoweth.]

It is probable that the winnowing of grain was effected by taking up a portion of the corn in a sieve, and letting it down slowly in the wind; thus the grain would, by its own weight, fall in one place, while the chaff, etc., would be carried a distance by the wind. It is said here that this was done at night; probably what was threshed out in the day was winnowed in the evening, when the sea breeze set in, which was common in Palestine.

rub on some perfumed oil ... get <05480 07760> [anoint thee.]

get dressed up <07760 08071> [put thy.]


3:4

uncover ... legs <04772 01540> [uncover his feet. or, lift up the clothes that are on his feet.]
