SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:18
Entonces ella dijo: Reposa, hija mía, hasta que sepas como cae la cosa; porque aquel hombre no reposará hasta que hoy concluya el negocio.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ruth 3:18
Verse 18. Until thou know how the matter will fall] That is, whether he who is nearer of kin than Boaz will take thee to wife; do not return again till this thing is determined. Boaz lost no time to bring this to an issue, as we shall see in the following chapter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Then, said she, sit still, my daughter , etc.] Keep at home, say nothing of this affair to any person, be easy about it, take no other steps in it, wait the issue of it: until thou know how the matter will fall ; not that she thought it was a chance matter, a fortuitous and contingent event with respect to God; for all decrees come from heaven, as Aben Ezra on the text says, and particularly marriages are decreed in heaven, and come about according to such decrees; so the Targum, “sit, my daughter, with me, in the house, until the time thou shall know how it is decreed from heaven:” for the man will not be at rest until he have finished the thing this day ; which she concluded, partly from his known integrity and faithfulness, diligence and industry, and partly from his affection to Ruth, and her interest in it; for she perceived, she had got his heart, both by what he had said to her, and by the present he had sent by her, and she was satisfied he would not be easy until he knew whether he should have her or not.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-18 - Ruth had done all that was fit for her to do, she must patiently wai the event. Boaz, having undertaken this matter, would be sure to manag it well. Much more reason have true believers to cast their care of God, because he has promised to care for them. Our strength is to sin still, Isa 30:7. This narrative may encourage us to lay ourselves by faith at the feet of Christ: He is our near Kinsman; having taken ou nature upon him. He has the right to redeem. Let us seek to receiv from him his directions: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Ac 9:6. He will never blame us as doing this unseasonably. And let us earnestl desire and seek the same rest for our children and friends, that it ma be well with them also __________________________________________________________________
