路得記 2:8的引用註釋

Did He not command: This is not the beginning of [her] words, but she rather said other words before these. However Scripture seized upon the essence to be found in the words that were required. And likewise (Ruth 2:8), "Have you not heard, my daughter"; and (Joshua 2:24), "Since the Lord gave the whole land into our hands," which the scouts said - as we explained. And this word also came to strengthen [the matter], like someone who warns his fellow; and cautions him and says, "Did I not tell you; be careful and watch yourself not to be negligent about the matter." And likewise (Judges 6:14), "have I not sent you," that He said to Gideon.

So shall you do Because of alacrity, caution, and encouragement, he added a “nun,” like (Gen. 32: 5): “So shall you say (תאמְרוּן),” and like (Ruth 2:8f.): “and here you shall stay (תִדְבָּקִין) with my maidens. Your eyes shall be on the field that they reap (יִִִקְצרוּן),” and like (ibid. 3:18): “until you know (תֵּדְעִין) how the matter will be resolved, for the man will not rest, etc.”

ישפוטו הם, they will judge in a number of locations. The construction pu in this word is in lieu of the normal construction פו with the vowel cholem.

יִשְׁפּוּטוּ הֵם — This is the same as יִשְׁפְּטוּ; similar is (Ruth 2:8) לֹא תַעֲבוּרִי which is the same as לֹא תַעַבְרִי. Its translation in the Targum is דינין אינון “they were judging”. The above verses (i. e. the verbs in v. 22) express the command and consequently they are translated by וידונון and ייתון and ידונון, “and let them judge”, and “let them bring”, and “let them judge”; but these verses express the doing of what was commanded (they state that the command was actually carried out).
