Midrash sobre Rute 1:13
הֲלָהֵ֣ן ׀ תְּשַׂבֵּ֗רְנָה עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִגְדָּ֔לוּ הֲלָהֵן֙ תֵּֽעָגֵ֔נָה לְבִלְתִּ֖י הֱי֣וֹת לְאִ֑ישׁ אַ֣ל בְּנֹתַ֗י כִּֽי־מַר־לִ֤י מְאֹד֙ מִכֶּ֔ם כִּֽי־יָצְאָ֥ה בִ֖י יַד־יְהוָֽה׃
esperá-los-íeis até que viessem a ser grandes? deter-vos-íeis por eles, sem tomardes marido? Não, filhas minhas, porque mais amargo me é a mim do que a vós mesmas; porquanto a mão do SENHOR se descarregou contra mim.
Ruth Rabbah
“Would you wait for them until they grow? Would you constrain yourselves for them, not to be with a husband? No, my daughters, for I am greatly embittered for you; as the hand of the Lord has emerged against me” (Ruth 1:13).
“Were I to be,” had I already borne sons, or were I to be with a man tonight and would bear sons, “would you wait,” would you sit idly “until they grow”? “Would you constrain yourselves?” Could you sit in forced solitude, “not to be with a husband”? “No [al], my daughters,” woe [alelai] my daughters, “for I am greatly embittered for you,” for your sakes. “As the hand of the Lord has emerged against me,” and my sons and my husband.
