Rut 3:18

3:18 Then Naomi ¹  said, “Stay put, ²  my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out. For the man will not rest until he has taken care of the matter today.”

Rut 4:17

4:17 The neighbor women named him, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. ³  Now he became the father of Jesse – David’s father!

[3:18]  ¹ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Naomi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:18]  ² tn Heb “sit”; KJV “Sit still”; NAB “Wait here”; NLT “Just be patient.”

[4:17]  ³ tn The name “Obed” means “one who serves,” perhaps anticipating how he would help Naomi (see v. 15).
