Ruth 2:1

CHAPTER II

Ruth goes to glean in the field of Boaz, 1-3.

Boaz finds her, and inquires who she is, 4-7.

He speaks kindly to her, gives her permission to follow his

reapers, and orders them to use her well, 8-16.

She returns in the evening to Naomi, and tells her of her fare;

from whom she receives encouragement and advice, 17-23.

NOTES ON CHAP. II

Verse Ruth 2:1. A mighty man of wealth] We have already seen that some suppose Boaz to have been one of the judges of Israel; he was no doubt a man of considerable property.
