Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people,.... Who were present at the gate of the city, or in court: ye are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's; all the land
which belonged to him, who was the husband of Naomi, and the father of Ruth's husband, whose estate Boaz now bought, paying the value for it to Naomi: and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's; the two sons of Elimelech, who, had they been living, would have enjoyed their father's estate; but they being dead, it devolved on the mother, and after her on the widows, who must therefore agree to the sale of the estate, as Ruth did, see Rut 4:5 . Of Orpah no notice is taken, because she returned to her own land; and besides Mahlon, the husband of Ruth, was the elder brother, and therefore had the first right to the inheritance; but as it was in the hands of Naomi now, the purchase was made of her principally, and therefore Boaz is said to purchase it of the hand of Naomi; to whom the money was paid, and who delivered the estate to him.
