Ruth 4:1 [1] The Hebrew for this word is a little peculiar, in that it means something like "a certain one" or "so-and-so." It is used when the name of the person addressed cannot or should not be mentioned for some reason. No ill will or insult is implied.

Ruth 4:6 [2] Lit damage. The excuse given was probably made up on the spot by this relative-redeemer to avoid the obligation of marrying Ruth and raising a son in her deceased husband's name (see note 2:20). He may very well not have wanted to raise a son under such circumstances, or to be married to a Moabite woman.
