Commentary on Ruth 2:19

Theological / Devotional

Blessed be he. Naomi was duly impressed with the results of the day’s toil. The amount of grain indicated that the owner of the field where Ruth gleaned had been unusually kind to her. His kindness became still more evident when Ruth gave Naomi the remainder of her noonday meal — what she had saved of the food Boaz had graciously given her (v. 14). In view of the favor shown Ruth, Naomi invokes God’s blessing on Ruth’s generous benefactor.

Boaz. See on v. 1.
