Rth 4:14
At his birth the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who hath not let a redeemer be wanting to thee to-day.” This redeemer was not Boaz, but the son just born. They called him a redeemer of Naomi, not because he would one day redeem the whole of Naomi’s possessions (Carpzov, Rosenmüller, etc.), but because as the son of Ruth he was also the son of Naomi (Rth 4:17), and as such would take away the reproach of childlessness from her, would comfort her, and tend her in her old age, and thereby become her true goël, i.e., her deliverer (Bertheau). “And let his name be named in Israel,” i.e., let the boy acquire a celebrated name, one often mentioned in Israel.
