Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Boaz came from Beth-lehem - This salutation between Boaz and his reapers is worthy of particular regard; he said, Yehovah immachem , "Jehovah be with you!" They said, yebarechecha Yehovah , "May Jehovah bless thee!" Can a pious mind read these godly salutations without wishing for a return of those simple primitive times? The words may be thus paraphrased: "May God be with you, to preserve you from accidents, and strengthen you to accomplish your work!" "May God bless Thee with the increase of the field, and grace to use his bounty to the glory of the Giver!"
