Ruth 2:22 meaning and explanation
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
Ruth 2:22, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Naomi is speaking to Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, after Ruth has gleaned in the field of Boaz and reported his kindness. Naomi answers with practical wisdom: it is good for Ruth to stay with Boaz's young women, because a foreign widow gleaning alone in another field could face harassment or harm.
