פירוש על רות 4:11
Rashi on Ruth
Like Rachel and like Leah. Even though they were from the tribe of Yehudah and of the descendants of Leah, they conceded that Rachel was the mainstay of the household and they mentioned Rachel before Leah.8Alternatively, the blessing was for (Naomi)[Ruth] who was the daughter of idolaters. They blessed her that she should be in her own righteousness like Rachel and Leah who also were daughters of an idolater [Lavan], but because of their marriage to a great and righteous man [Yaakov], they created the House of Yisroel.

Nachal Eshkol on Ruth
May Adonai make the woman who is coming (haba’ah)…, The first letters of these words spell Eheyeh.78The first words of the verse are ה' את האשה הבאה. God’ s name begins with a Yud Also the word Haba’ah are the letters of Ahavah which is B’eheyeh. According to our teacher, the Ari and his disciples. Ruth had an aspect of Rachel and Leah, as was written above. This fits well with what the elders said, “May Adonai make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah,” since she has the qualities of the two of them. May she merit to be like them since they built the house of Israel.
