Kommentar zu Rut 2:8
וַיֹּאמֶר֩ בֹּ֨עַז אֶל־ר֜וּת הֲל֧וֹא שָׁמַ֣עַתְּ בִּתִּ֗י אַל־תֵּלְכִי֙ לִלְקֹט֙ בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה אַחֵ֔ר וְגַ֛ם לֹ֥א תַעֲבוּרִ֖י מִזֶּ֑ה וְכֹ֥ה תִדְבָּקִ֖ין עִם־נַעֲרֹתָֽי׃
Da sprach Boas zu Ruth: Höre doch, meine Tochter, gehe nicht auflesen in ein anderes Feld, gehe nicht fort von hier und halte dich hier zu meinen Mägden.
Malbim on Ruth
How are they judging you here? To your merit! Therefore, do not go to reap in another field, where the owner might not be willing to let you. And do not go away from here, even among my fields (for Boaz had many fields), where the men might hate you. More so, stay close to my girls, because on this field there are men on one side, and women on another. Stay on the side of the women.
