Bible Verse Review

Ruth: Ruth is said, by the Targumist, to have been the daughter of Eglon, king of Moab.

It is good: Proverbs 27:10, Song of Solomon 1:8

meet: or, fall not upon thee

Reciprocal: Ruth 2:21 - Thou shalt

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law,.... Observing the charge Boaz had given her, she thought fit to advise her upon it:

it is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens; that is, go out in the morning with them, set out from Bethlehem when they went to work, and so continue with them all the day:

that they meet thee not in any other field; the meaning is, either that men might not meet her in another field alone, or rush upon her at once and unawares, and reproach her, or beat her, or indeed force her; or else that the servants of Boaz might not meet her, or see her in another field, and report it to their master, who would be offended at her; and take it as a slight of his kindness to her; which latter seems rather to be the sense.
