Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her,.... After the harvests were over, and so gleaning likewise; when Naomi and Ruth were together alone in their apartment, the mother addressed the daughter after this manner:

my daughter, shall I not seek for thee, that it may be well with thee? that is, in the house of an husband, as in Ruth 1:9 her meaning is, to seek out for an husband for her, that she might have an house of her own to rest in, and an husband to provide her; that so she might be free from such toil and labour she had been lately exercised in, and enjoy much ease and comfort, and all outward happiness and prosperity in a marriage state with a good husband. This interrogation carries in it the force of a strong affirmation, may suggest that she judged it to be her duty, and that she was determined to seek out such a rest for her; and the Targum makes her way of speaking stronger still, for that is,

"by an oath I will not rest, until the time that I have sought a rest for thee.''

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER III

Naomi's advice to Ruth, how to procure herself a marriage with

Boaz, 1-5.

She acts according to her mother-in-law's direction, and is

kindly received by Boaz, who promises to marry her, should

her nearer kinsman refuse, 6-13.

He gives her six measures of barley, and sends her away

privately to her mother-in-law, who augurs favourably of

the issue of the plan she had laid, 14-18.

NOTES ON CHAP. III

Verse Ruth 3:1. Shall I not seek rest for thee — That is, Shall I not endeavour to procure thee a proper husband? See Ruth 1:9, and the observations at the end of that chapter.
