Ruth 2:5

Context
2:5 Boaz asked 1  his servant 2  in charge of the harvesters, “To whom does this young woman belong?” 3 

1 tn Heb “said to.” Since what follows is a question, “asked” is appropriate in this context.

2 tn Heb “young man.” Cf. NAB “overseer”; NIV, NLT “foreman.”

3 sn In this patriarchal culture Ruth would “belong” to either her father (if unmarried) or her husband (if married).
