Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ruth 2:20
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Ruth 2:20 · Douay-Rheims
“And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.”
On this verse:
“the man is . . . one of our next kinsmen--Hebrew, "one of our redeemers," on whom it devolves to protect us, to purchase our lands, and marry you, the widow of his next kinsman. She said, "one of them," not that there were many in the same close relationship, but that he was a very near kinsman, one other individual only having the precedence.”
