Previous Chapter - Ruth 3:1 Previous Verse - Ruth 4:5 Next Verse - Ruth 4:7 Next Chapter - 1 Samuel 1:1
{Ruth 4:6} And the kinsman 1350 z8802 said, 559 z8799 I cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 redeem 1350 z8800 [it] for myself, lest x6435 I mar 7843 z8686 x853 mine own inheritance: 5159 redeem 1350 z8798 thou x859 x853 my right 1353 to thyself; for x3588 I cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 redeem 1350 z8800 [it].
I cannot:
The Targum seems to give the proper sense of this passage: "I cannot redeem it, because I have a wife already; and it is not fit for me to bring another into my house, lest brawling and contention arise in it; and lest I hurt my own inheritance. Do thou redeem it, for thou has no wife; which hinders me from redeeming it." "And the kinsmanª° said,ª° I cannotª°¹ redeemª° [it] for myself, lest¹ I marª°¹ mine own inheritance:ª redeemª° thou¹¹ my rightª to thyself; for¹ I cannotª°¹ redeemª° [it]." {Rth 4:6}
