A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
And so all Israel shall be saved--To understand this great statement, as some still do, merely of such a gradual inbringing of individual Jews, that there shall at length remain none in unbelief, is to do manifest violence both to it and to the whole context. It can only mean the ultimate ingathering of Israel as a nation, in contrast with the present "remnant." (So THOLUCK, MEYER, DE WETTE, PHILIPPI, ALFORD, HODGE). Three confirmations of this now follow: two from the prophets, and a third from the Abrahamic covenant itself. First, as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall--or, according to what seems the true reading, without the "and"--"He shall" turn away ungodliness from Jacob--The apostle, having drawn his illustrations of man's sinfulness chiefly from Psa 14:1-7 and Isa. 59:1-21, now seems to combine the language of the same two places regarding Israel's salvation from it [BENGEL]. In the one place the Psalmist longs to see the "salvation of Israel coming out of Zion" (Psa 14:7); in the other, the prophet announces that "the Redeemer (or, 'Deliverer') shall come to (or 'for') Zion" (Isa 59:20). But as all the glorious manifestations of Israel's God were regarded as issuing out of Zion, as the seat of His manifested glory (Psa 20:2; Psa 110:2; Isa 31:9), the turn which the apostle gives to the words merely adds to them that familiar idea. And whereas the prophet announces that He "shall come to (or, 'for') them that turn from transgression in Jacob," while the apostle makes Him say that He shall come "to turn away ungodliness from Jacob," this is taken from the Septuagint version, and seems to indicate a different reading of the original text. The sense, however, is substantially the same in both. Second,

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
And so - That is, in this manner; or when the great abundance of the Gentiles shall be converted, then all Israel shall be saved. All Israel - All the Jews. It was a maxim among the Jews that "every Israelite should have part in the future age." (Grotius.) The apostle applies that maxim to his own purpose; and declares the sense in which it would be true. He does not mean to say that every Jew of every age would be saved; for he had proved that a large portion of them would be, in his time, rejected and lost. But the time would come when, as a people, they would be recovered; when the nation would turn to God; and when it could be said of them that, as a nation, they were restored to the divine favor. It is not clear that he means that even then every individual of them would be saved, but the body of them; the great mass of the nation would be. Nor is it said when this would be. This is one of the things which "the Father hath put in his own power;" Act 1:7. He has given us the assurance that it shall be done to encourage us in our efforts to save them; and he has concealed the time when it shall be, lest we should relax our efforts, or feel that no exertions were needed to accomplish what must take place at a fixed time. Shall be saved - Shall be recovered from their rejection; be restored to the divine favor; become followers of the Messiah, and thus be saved as all other Christians are. As it is written - Isa 59:20. The quotation is not literally made, but the sense of the passage is preserved. The Hebrew is, "There shall come to Zion a Redeemer, and for those who turn from ungodliness in Jacob." There can be no doubt that Isaiah refers here to the times of the gospel. Out of Zion - Zion was one of the bills of Jerusalem. On this was built the city of David. It came thus to denote, in general, the church, or people of God. And when it is said that the Redeemer should come out of Zion, it means that he should arise among that people, be descended from themselves, or should not be a foreigner. The Septuagint, however render it, "the Redeemer shall come on account of Zion." So the Chaldee paraphrase, and the Latin Vulgate. And shall turn away ... - The Hebrew is, "to those forsaking un godliness in Jacob." The Septuagint has rendered it in the same manner as the apostle.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
Jacob Summary: Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: (1) To witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry (Deu 6:4); (Isa 43:10); (Isa 43:12); (2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God (Deu 33:26-29); (Ch1 17:20); (Ch1 17:21); (Psa 144:15). (3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture (Deu 4:5-8); (Rom 3:1); (Rom 3:2). (4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah (Gen 3:15); (Gen 12:3); (Gen 22:18); (Gen 28:10-14); (Gen 49:10); (Sa2 7:12-16); (Isa 7:14); (Isa 9:6); (Mat 1:1); (Rom 1:3). According to the prophets, Israel, regathered from all nations, restored to her own land and converted, is yet to have her greatest earthly exaltation and glory. See "Kingdom (Old Testament)"; (Gen 1:26). (See Scofield) - (Zac 12:8) New Testament (Luk 1:31-33); (Co1 15:24). "Davidic Covenant" (See Scofield) - (Sa2 7:16).

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
The deliverer (ὁ ῥυόμενος) The Hebrew is goel redeemer, avenger. The nearest relative of a murdered person, on whom devolved the duty of avenger, was called goel haddam avenger of blood. So the goel was the nearest kinsman of a childless widow, and was required to marry her (Deu 25:5-10). It is the word used by Job in the celebrated passage Job 19:25. See, also, Rut 3:12, Rut 3:13; Rut 4:1-10.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
And so all Israel shall be saved - Being convinced by the coming of the gentiles. But there will be a still larger harvest among the gentiles, when all Israel is come in. The deliverer shall come - Yea, the deliverer is come; but not the full fruit of his coming. Isa 59:20

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
And so all Israel shall be saved - Shall be brought into the way of salvation, by acknowledging the Messiah; for the word certainly does not mean eternal glory; for no man can conceive that a time will ever come in which every Jew then living, shall be taken to the kingdom of glory. The term saved, as applied to the Israelites in different parts of the Scripture, signifies no more than their being gathered out of the nations of the world, separated to God, and possessed of the high privilege of being his peculiar people. And we know that this is the meaning of the term, by finding it applied to the body of the Israelites when this alone was the sum of their state. See the Preface, Part II. As it is written - The apostle supports what he advances on this head by a quotation from Scripture, which, in the main, is taken from Isa 59:20 : The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Now this cannot be understood of the manifestation of Christ among the Jews; or of the multitudes which were converted before, at, and for some time after, the day of pentecost; for these times were all past when the apostle wrote this epistle, which was probably about the 57th or 58th year of our Lord; and, as no remarkable conversion of that people has since taken place, therefore the fulfillment of this prophecy is yet to take place. In what manner Christ is to come out of Zion, and in what way or by what means he is to turn away transgression from Jacob, we cannot tell; and to attempt to conjecture, when the time, occasion, means, etc., are all in mystery, would be more than reprehensible.

¹ To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732]. The fool [05036] hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], There is no God [0430]. They are corrupt [07843], they have done abominable [08581] works [05949], there is none that doeth [06213] good [02896].
² The LORD [03068] looked down [08259] from heaven [08064] upon the children [01121] of men [0120], to see [07200] if there [03426] were any that did understand [07919], and seek [01875] God [0430].

⁷ And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], It is [2076] not [3756] for you [5216] to know [1097] the times [5550] or [2228] the seasons [2540], which [3739] the Father [3962] hath put [5087] in [1722] his own [2398] power [1849].

⁶ For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965].

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410].

¹² And when thy days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], and thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01], I will set up [06965] thy seed [02233] after [0310] thee, which shall proceed [03318] out of thy bowels [04578], and I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04467].
¹³ He shall build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], and I will stablish [03559] the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04467] for [05704] ever [05769].

¹⁵ But my mercy [02617] shall not depart away [05493] from him, as I took [05493] it from Saul [07586], whom I put away [05493] before [06440] thee.
¹⁶ And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769].

¹⁰ The sceptre [07626] shall not depart [05493] from Judah [03063], nor a lawgiver [02710] from between his feet [07272], until [03588] Shiloh [07886] come [0935]; and unto him shall the gathering [03349] of the people [05971] be.

¹⁰ And Jacob [03290] went out [03318] from Beersheba [0884], and went [03212] toward Haran [02771].
¹¹ And he lighted [06293] upon a certain place [04725], and tarried there all night [03885], because the sun [08121] was set [0935]; and he took [03947] of the stones [068] of that place [04725], and put [07760] them for his pillows [04763], and lay down [07901] in that place [04725] to sleep [07901].
¹² And he dreamed [02492], and behold a ladder [05551] set up [05324] on the earth [0776], and the top of it [07218] reached [05060] to heaven [08064]: and behold the angels [04397] of God [0430] ascending [05927] and descending [03381] on it.
¹³ And, behold, the LORD [03068] stood [05324] above it, and said [0559], I am the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01], and the God [0430] of Isaac [03327]: the land [0776] whereon thou liest [07901], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233];
¹⁴ And thy seed [02233] shall be as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and thou shalt spread abroad [06555] to the west [03220], and to the east [06924], and to the north [06828], and to the south [05045]: and in thee and in thy seed [02233] shall all the families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288].

¹⁸ And in thy seed [02233] shall all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] be blessed [01288]; because [0834] [06118] thou hast obeyed [08085] my voice [06963].

³ And I will bless [01288] them that bless [01288] thee, and curse [0779] him that curseth [07043] thee: and in thee shall all families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288].

¹⁵ And I will put [07896] enmity [0342] between thee and the woman [0802], and between thy seed [02233] and her seed [02233]; it shall bruise [07779] thy head [07218], and thou shalt bruise [07779] his heel [06119].

² Much [4183] every [2596] [3956] way [5158]: chiefly [4412], because [3303] [1063] that [3754] unto them were committed [4100] the oracles [3051] of God [2316].

¹ What [5101] advantage [4053] then [3767] hath the Jew [2453]? or [2228] what [5101] profit [5622] is there of circumcision [4061]?

⁵ Behold [07200], I have taught [03925] you statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], even as [0834] the LORD [03068] my God [0430] commanded [06680] me, that ye should do [06213] so in [07130] the land [0776] whither ye go [0935] to possess [03423] it.
⁶ Keep [08104] therefore and do [06213] them; for this is your wisdom [02451] and your understanding [0998] in the sight [05869] of the nations [05971], which shall hear [08085] all these statutes [02706], and say [0559], Surely this great [01419] nation [01471] is a wise [02450] and understanding [0995] people [05971].
⁷ For what nation [01471] is there so great [01419], who hath God [0430] so nigh [07138] unto them, as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is in all things that we call [07121] upon him for?
⁸ And what nation [01471] is there so great [01419], that hath statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] so righteous [06662] as all this law [08451], which I set [05414] before [06440] you this day [03117]?

¹⁵ Happy [0835] is that people [05971], that is in such a case [03602]: yea, happy [0835] is that people [05971], whose God [0430] is the LORD [03068].

²¹ And what one [0259] nation [01471] in the earth [0776] is like thy people [05971] Israel [03478], whom God [0430] went [01980] to redeem [06299] to be his own people [05971], to make [07760] thee a name [08034] of greatness [01420] and terribleness [03372], by driving out [01644] nations [01471] from before [06440] thy people [05971], whom thou hast redeemed [06299] out of Egypt [04714]?

²⁰ O LORD [03068], there is none like thee, neither is there any God [0430] beside [02108] thee, according to all that we have heard [08085] with our ears [0241].

²⁶ There is none like unto the God [0410] of Jeshurun [03484], who rideth [07392] upon the heaven [08064] in thy help [05828], and in his excellency [01346] on the sky [07834].
²⁷ The eternal [06924] God [0430] is thy refuge [04585], and underneath are the everlasting [05769] arms [02220]: and he shall thrust out [01644] the enemy [0341] from before [06440] thee; and shall say [0559], Destroy [08045] them.
²⁸ Israel [03478] then shall dwell [07931] in safety [0983] alone [0910]: the fountain [05869] of Jacob [03290] shall be upon a land [0776] of corn [01715] and wine [08492]; also his heavens [08064] shall drop down [06201] dew [02919].
²⁹ Happy [0835] art thou, O Israel [03478]: who is like unto thee, O people [05971] saved [03467] by the LORD [03068], the shield [04043] of thy help [05828], and who is the sword [02719] of thy excellency [01346]! and thine enemies [0341] shall be found liars [03584] unto thee; and thou shalt tread [01869] upon their high places [01116].

¹² I have declared [05046], and have saved [03467], and I have shewed [08085], when there was no strange [02114] god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses [05707], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I am God [0410].

¹⁰ Ye are my witnesses [05707], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and my servant [05650] whom I have chosen [0977]: that ye may know [03045] and believe [0539] me, and understand [0995] that I am he: before [06440] me there was no God [0410] formed [03335], neither shall there be after [0310] me.

⁴ Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: The LORD [03068] our God [0430] is one [0259] LORD [03068]:

¹ Then went [05927] Boaz [01162] up [05927] to the gate [08179], and sat him down [03427] there: and, behold, the kinsman [01350] of whom Boaz [01162] spake [01696] came [05674] by; unto whom he said [0559], Ho [01945], such [06423] a one [0492]! turn aside [05493], sit down [03427] here. And he turned aside [05493], and sat down [03427].
² And he took [03947] ten [06235] men [0582] of the elders [02205] of the city [05892], and said [0559], Sit ye down [03427] here. And they sat down [03427].
³ And he said [0559] unto the kinsman [01350], Naomi [05281], that is come again [07725] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124], selleth [04376] a parcel [02513] of land [07704], which was our brother [0251] Elimelech's [0458]:
⁴ And I thought [0559] to advertise [01540] [0241] thee, saying [0559], Buy [07069] it before the inhabitants [03427], and before the elders [02205] of my people [05971]. If thou wilt redeem [01350] it, redeem [01350] it: but if thou wilt not redeem [01350] it, then tell [05046] me, that I may know [03045]: for there is none to redeem [01350] it beside [02108] thee; and I am after [0310] thee. And he said [0559], I will redeem [01350] it.
⁵ Then said [0559] Boaz [01162], What day [03117] thou buyest [07069] the field [07704] of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281], thou must buy [07069] it also of Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159].
⁶ And the kinsman [01350] said [0559], I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it for myself, lest I mar [07843] mine own inheritance [05159]: redeem [01350] thou my right [01353] to thyself; for I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it.
⁷ Now this was the manner in former time [06440] in Israel [03478] concerning redeeming [01353] and concerning changing [08545], for to confirm [06965] all things [01697]; a man [0376] plucked off [08025] his shoe [05275], and gave [05414] it to his neighbour [07453]: and this was a testimony [08584] in Israel [03478].
⁸ Therefore the kinsman [01350] said [0559] unto Boaz [01162], Buy [07069] it for thee. So he drew off [08025] his shoe [05275].
⁹ And Boaz [01162] said [0559] unto the elders [02205], and unto all the people [05971], Ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117], that I have bought [07069] all that was Elimelech's [0458], and all that was Chilion's [03630] and Mahlon's [04248], of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281].
¹⁰ Moreover Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of Mahlon [04248], have I purchased [07069] to be my wife [0802], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159], that the name [08034] of the dead [04191] be not cut off [03772] from among [05973] his brethren [0251], and from the gate [08179] of his place [04725]: ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117].

¹³ Tarry [03885] this night [03915], and it shall be in the morning [01242], that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman [01350], well [02896]; let him do the kinsman's part [01350]: but if he will [02654] not do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416]: lie down [07901] until the morning [01242].

¹² And now it is true [0551] that I am thy near kinsman [01350]: howbeit there is [03426] a kinsman [01350] nearer [07138] than I.

²⁵ For I know [03045] that my redeemer [01350] liveth [02416], and that he shall stand [06965] at the latter [0314] day upon the earth [06083]:

⁵ If brethren [0251] dwell [03427] together [03162], and one [0259] of them die [04191], and have no child [01121], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191] shall not marry without [02351] unto a stranger [0376] [02114]: her husband's brother [02993] shall go in [0935] unto her, and take [03947] her to him to wife [0802], and perform the duty of an husband's brother [02992] unto her.
⁶ And it shall be, that the firstborn [01060] which she beareth [03205] shall succeed [06965] in the name [08034] of his brother [0251] which is dead [04191], that his name [08034] be not put out [04229] of Israel [03478].
⁷ And if the man [0376] like [02654] not to take [03947] his brother's wife [02994], then let his brother's wife [02994] go up [05927] to the gate [08179] unto the elders [02205], and say [0559], My husband's brother [02993] refuseth [03985] to raise up [06965] unto his brother [0251] a name [08034] in Israel [03478], he will [014] not perform the duty of my husband's brother [02992].
⁸ Then the elders [02205] of his city [05892] shall call [07121] him, and speak [01696] unto him: and if he stand [05975] to it, and say [0559], I like [02654] not to take [03947] her;
⁹ Then shall his brother's wife [02994] come [05066] unto him in the presence [05869] of the elders [02205], and loose [02502] his shoe [05275] from off his foot [07272], and spit [03417] in his face [06440], and shall answer [06030] and say [0559], So shall it be done [06213] unto that man [0376] that will not build up [01129] his brother's [0251] house [01004].
¹⁰ And his name [08034] shall be called [07121] in Israel [03478], The house [01004] of him that hath his shoe [05275] loosed [02502].

²⁰ And the Redeemer [01350] shall come [0935] to Zion [06726], and unto them that turn [07725] from transgression [06588] in Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
