SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:17
Y dijo: Estas seis medidas de cebada me dio, diciéndome: Para que no vayas vacía a tu suegra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And she said, these six measures of barley gave he me , etc.] Which she laid down before her, which was a proof of his kindness to her, that she was acceptable to him, and had well sped; of these six measures, (see Ruth 3:15) which by some are allegorically interpreted of six blessings that should be bestowed upon her, as the spirit of wisdom, understanding, etc. as ( Isaiah 11:2) so Jarchi; or of six persons that should spring from her, as David, Daniel, and his companions, and the King Messiah, as the Targum: for he said unto me, go not empty unto thy mother in law ; which, as it expressed a regard to Naomi, and a compassionate concern for her support, so would give her assurance of the success Ruth met with, she would relate to her.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-18 - Ruth had done all that was fit for her to do, she must patiently wai the event. Boaz, having undertaken this matter, would be sure to manag it well. Much more reason have true believers to cast their care of God, because he has promised to care for them. Our strength is to sin still, Isa 30:7. This narrative may encourage us to lay ourselves by faith at the feet of Christ: He is our near Kinsman; having taken ou nature upon him. He has the right to redeem. Let us seek to receiv from him his directions: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Ac 9:6. He will never blame us as doing this unseasonably. And let us earnestl desire and seek the same rest for our children and friends, that it ma be well with them also __________________________________________________________________
