Ruth 2:14

Context

2:14 Later during the mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and have 1  some food! Dip your bread 2  in the vinegar!” So she sat down beside the harvesters. Then he handed 3  her some roasted grain. She ate until she was full and saved the rest. 4 

1 tn Heb “eat” (so KJV, NRSV).

2 tn Heb “your portion”; NRSV “your morsel.”

3 tn The Hebrew verb צָבַט (tsavat) occurs only here in the OT. Cf. KJV, ASV “he reached her”; NASB “he served her”; NIV “he offered her”; NRSV “he heaped up for her.” For discussion of its meaning, including the etymological evidence, see BDB 840 s.v.; R. L. Hubbard, Jr., Ruth (NICOT), 174; and F. W. Bush, Ruth, Esther (WBC), 125-26.

4 tn Heb “and she ate and she was satisfied and she had some left over” (NASB similar).
