Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the servant: This seems to have been a kind of steward, who had the under- management of the estate. Genesis 15:2, Genesis 24:2, Genesis 39:4, Matthew 20:8, Matthew 24:45

It is the: Ruth 1:16, Ruth 1:19, Ruth 1:22

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said,.... Who had taken a great deal of notice of Ruth, and had conversed with her, and so was capable of giving answers to his master's question:

it is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi, out of the country of Moab; perhaps he had not got knowledge of her name, and therefore only describes her by the country from whence she came; and by her coming from thence along with Naomi, when she returned from Moab, with whose name Boaz was well acquainted, and of whose return he had been informed; and perhaps had seen her in person, and even Ruth also, though he might have forgot her; the Targum makes the servant to add, that she was become a proselytess.
