Maka pada sangkaku baik aku memberitahu hal itu kepadamu dengan nyata-nyata, kataku: Terimalah dia di hadapan segala orang isi negeri ini dan di hadapan tua-tua bangsaku; jikalau engkau hendak menebus, tebuslah juga akan dia; tetapi jikalau tiada ia itu ditebus olehmu, nyatakanlah kepadaku, supaya kuketahui akan dia, karena tiadalah orang yang dapat menebus dia, melainkan engkau dan aku ini kemudian dari padamu. Maka sahut orang itu: Aku hendak menebus dia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I thought to advertise thee,.... To give him notice of it; or "I said" g; he said in his heart and mind, purposing to do it; or he said it to Ruth, promising her that he would do it:

saying, buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; or before those that sat there, even the elders, as witnesses of the purchase:

if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: for it was redeemable by a near kinsman according to the law, even when said to another, in Leviticus 25:25,

but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; what to do in this affair, whether to redeem it or not:

for there is none to redeem it besides thee, and I am after thee; he was the first, and Boaz was the next near kinsman, to whom the right of redemption belonged:

and he said, I will redeem it: he chose to make the purchase, he liked the land, which he probably full well knew, and it might lie near his own, and make a good addition to it; and as the widow was determined, and under a necessity to sell, he might expect to have it at a cheap rate; all which might induce him at once to agree to be the purchaser.

g ואני אמרתי "et ego dixi", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ruth 4:4. I thought to advertise thee — Both Dr. Kennicott and Father Houbigant have noticed several corruptions in the pronouns of this and the following verses; and their criticisms have been confirmed by a great number of MSS. since collated. The text corrected reads thus: "And I said I will reveal this to thy ear, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it but thou, and I who am next to thee. And he said, I will redeem it. And Boaz said, In the day that thou redeemest the land from the hand of Naomi, thou wilt also acquire Ruth, the wife of the dead, that thou mayest raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance;" Ruth 4:4-5. - See Kennicott's Dissertations, vol. i., p. 449; Houbigant in loco; and the Variae Lectiones of Kennicott and De Rossi. This is Boaz's statement of the case before the kinsman, and before the people and the elders.

I will redeem it. — I will pay down the money which it is worth. He knew not of the following condition.
