NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Naomi uses the feminine form of the word “servant” (as Boaz did earlier, see v. 8), in contrast to Ruth’s use of the masculine form in the preceding verse. Since she is concerned for Ruth’s safety, she may be subtly reminding Ruth to stay with the female workers and not get too close to the men.

²tn Heb “and they will not harm you in another field”; NRSV “otherwise you might be bothered in another field.”
