Komentaryo sa Ruth 4:4: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

וַאֲנִ֨י אָמַ֜רְתִּי אֶגְלֶ֧ה אָזְנְךָ֣ לֵאמֹ֗ר קְ֠נֵה נֶ֥גֶד הַֽיֹּשְׁבִים֮ וְנֶ֣גֶד זִקְנֵ֣י עַמִּי֒ אִם־תִּגְאַל֙ גְּאָ֔ל וְאִם־לֹ֨א יִגְאַ֜ל הַגִּ֣ידָה לִּ֗י ואדע [וְאֵֽדְעָה֙] כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין זוּלָֽתְךָ֙ לִגְא֔וֹל וְאָנֹכִ֖י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָנֹכִ֥י אֶגְאָֽל׃

At naisip kong ipaalam ito sa iyo, na sinasabi: Bilhin mo ito sa harap ng mga nakaupo rito at sa harap ng matatanda ng aking bayan. Kung tutubusin mo ito, tubusin mo; ngunit kung hindi ito tutubusin, sabihin mo sa akin upang malaman ko, sapagkat walang iba bukod sa iyo na may karapatang tumubos, at ako ang kasunod mo.” At sinabi niya: “Tutubusin ko ito.”

Rashi

That I may know [now], for beside you there is no one. [Who is as] close [as you] to redeem.

Ibn Ezra

And if he will not redeem. Rabbi Yonah said, it should have been 'and if you will not redeem.' Similarly, 'and let him not deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.' But this is not possible because 'deal treacherously' reverts back to the word 'in your spirit.' That is its interpretation. And if the redeemer does not redeem it, then I will know, for there is no closer redeemer than you.
