Ruth 2:21

Context
2:21 Ruth the Moabite replied, “He even 1  told me, ‘You may go along beside my servants 2  until they have finished gathering all my harvest!’” 3 

1 tn On the force of the phrase גָּם כִּי (gam ki) here, see F. W. Bush, Ruth, Esther (WBC), 138-39.

2 tn Heb “with the servants who are mine you may stay close.” The imperfect has a permissive nuance here. The word “servants” is masculine plural.

3 tn Heb “until they have finished all the harvest which is mine”; NIV “until they finish harvesting all my grain.”
