Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The similarity of expression here to Gen 15:1, and in Rut 2:11 to Gen 12:1, makes it probable that Boaz had the case of Abraham in his mind.
The Lord God of Israel - "Jehovah the God of Israel." Compare Jos 14:14, where, as here, the force of the addition, the God of Israel, lies in the person spoken of being a foreigner (see Jdg 11:21 note). |

trust
(See Scofield) - (Psa 2:12). |

| Wings - That is, protection and care. An allusion either to hens, which protect and cherish their young ones under their wings; or to the wings of the Cherubim, between which God dwelt. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord recompense thy work - The dutiful respect which thou hast paid to thy husband, and thy tender and affectionate attachment to thy aged mother-in-law.
And a full reward be given thee - This is spoken with great modesty and piety: The kindness I show thee is little in comparison of thy desert; God alone can give thee a full reward for thy kindness to thy husband and mother-in-law, and he will do it, because thou art come to trust under his wings - to become a proselyte to his religion. The metaphor is taken from the young of fowls, who, seeing a bird of prey, run to their mother to be covered by her wings from danger, and also to take shelter from storms, tempests, cold, etc. It is evident from this that Ruth had already attached herself to the Jewish religion. |
21 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] delivered [05414] Sihon [05511] and all his people [05971] into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478], and they smote [05221] them: so Israel [03478] possessed [03423] all the land [0776] of the Amorites [0567], the inhabitants [03427] of that country [0776].
14 Hebron [02275] therefore became the inheritance [05159] of Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] unto this day [03117], because that he wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478].
1 Now the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Abram [087], Get thee out [03212] of thy country [0776], and from thy kindred [04138], and from thy father's [01] house [01004], unto a land [0776] that I will shew [07200] thee:
11 And Boaz [01162] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto her, It hath fully [05046] been shewed [05046] me, all that thou hast done [06213] unto thy mother in law [02545] since [0310] the death [04194] of thine husband [0376]: and how thou hast left [05800] thy father [01] and thy mother [0517], and the land [0776] of thy nativity [04138], and art come [03212] unto a people [05971] which thou knewest [03045] not heretofore [08543] [08032].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
12 Kiss [05401] the Son [01248], lest he be angry [0599], and ye perish [06] from the way [01870], when his wrath [0639] is kindled [01197] but a little [04592]. Blessed [0835] are all they that put their trust [02620] in him.
