Ruth 2:15

Context
2:15 When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told 1  his male servants, “Let her gather grain even among 2  the bundles! Don’t chase her off! 3 

1 tn Or “commanded” (so KJV, NASB, NCV).

2 tn Heb “even between”; NCV “even around.”

3 tn Heb “do not humiliate her”; cf. KJV “reproach her not”; NASB “do not insult her”; NIV “don’t embarrass her.” This probably refers to a verbal rebuke which would single her out and embarrass her (see v. 16). See R. L. Hubbard, Jr., Ruth (NICOT), 176-77, and F. W. Bush, Ruth, Esther (WBC), 126.
