Notes: 注解：

Ruth 4:7 took off his sandal. The scripture writer explained to his own generation what had been a custom in former generations. This kind of tradition appears in Deuteronomy 25:5–10 and apparently continued at least to the time of Amos (see 2:6; 8:6). The closer relative legally transferred his right to the property as symbolized by the sandal, most likely that of the nearer relative.
路得记 4:7 脱鞋。 圣经作者向自己的世代解释了前代的习俗。这种传统出现在申命记25:5-10中，显然至少延续到阿摩司的时代（参见2:6；8:6）。至近的亲属通过脱鞋象征性地将产业权合法转让，这鞋很可能是那至近亲属的。

Ruth 4:22 David. Looking back at Ruth from a New Testament perspective, latent messianic implications become more apparent (see Matt. 1:1). The fruit which is promised later on in the Davidic Covenant (2 Sam. 7:1–17) finds its seedbed here. The hope of a messianic king and kingdom (2 Sam. 7:12–14) will be fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 19–20) through the lineage of David's grandfather Obed who was born to Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess.
路得记 4:22 大卫。 从新约的角度回顾路得记，其中潜在的弥赛亚含义变得更加明显（参见太1:1）。大卫之约（撒下7:1-17）后来所应许的果实在此找到了它的种床。弥赛亚君王和国度的盼望（撒下7:12-14）将通过大卫的祖父俄备得—波阿斯与摩押女子路得所生的儿子—的血脉在主耶稣基督里得以成就（启19-20章）。

Psalm 52:8 green olive tree. The psalmist exults (through this simile) that the one who trusts in the mercy of God is productive and secure.
诗篇 52:8 青橄榄树。 诗人（通过这个比喻）欢欣鼓舞地表示，信靠神慈爱的人是多结果子且稳固的。

Luke 20:5 Why then did you not believe him? John had clearly testified that Jesus was the Messiah. If John was a prophet whose words were true, they ought to believe his testimony about Christ. On the other hand, it would have been political folly for the Pharisees to attack the legitimacy of John the Baptist or deny his authority as a prophet of God. John was enormously popular with the people and a martyr at the hands of the despised Herod. For the Pharisees to question John's authority was to attack a national hero, and they knew better than that. So they pleaded ignorance (v. 7).
路加福音 20:5 为什么不信他呢？ 约翰曾明确见证耶稣是弥赛亚。如果约翰是一位说真话的先知，他们就应当相信他关于基督的见证。另一方面，法利赛人若攻击施洗约翰的合法性或否认他作为神先知的权柄，在政治上将是愚蠢的。约翰在民众中极受欢迎，且是被人鄙视的希律手下的殉道者。法利赛人若质疑约翰的权柄就等于攻击一位民族英雄，他们深知这一点。所以他们声称不知道（第7节）。

DAY 29: How does Ruth exemplify the Proverbs 31 wife?
第29天：路得如何体现箴言31章所描述的妻子？

The "virtuous" wife of Proverbs 31:10 is personified by "virtuous" Ruth of whom the same Hebrew word is used (Ruth 3:11). With amazing parallel, they share at least 8 character traits (see below). One wonders (in concert with Jewish tradition) if King Lemuel's mother might not have been Bathsheba, who orally passed the family heritage of Ruth's spotless reputation along to David's son Solomon. Lemuel, which means "devoted to God," could have been a family name for Solomon (see Jedidiah, 2 Sam. 12:25), who then could have penned Proverbs 31:10–31 with Ruth in mind:
箴言31:10中的"才德的妇人"在路得身上得到体现，希伯来文中用了同一个词来形容路得（路得记3:11）。它们之间有惊人的相似之处，至少有8个共同的品格特征（见下文）。有人想知道（与犹太传统一致）利慕伊勒王的母亲是否就是拔示巴，她口头上将路得无瑕声誉的家族传承传给了大卫的儿子所罗门。利慕伊勒意为"专心于神"，可能是所罗门的家族名字（参见耶底底亚，撒下12:25），他可能是以路得为模范写下了箴言31:10-31：

  1. Devoted to her family (Ruth 1:15–18 // Prov. 31:10–12, 23).

  2. 忠于家庭（路得记1:15-18 // 箴31:10-12, 23）。

  3. Delighted in her work (Ruth 2:2 // Prov. 31:13).

  4. 喜悦自己的工作（路得记2:2 // 箴31:13）。

  5. Diligent in her labor (Ruth 2:7, 17, 23 // Prov. 31:14–18, 19–21, 24, 27).

  6. 勤劳做工（路得记2:7, 17, 23 // 箴31:14-18, 19-21, 24, 27）。

  7. Dedicated to godly speech (Ruth 2:10, 13 // Prov. 13:26).

  8. 专注于敬虔的言语（路得记2:10, 13 // 箴13:26）。

  9. Dependent on God (Ruth 2:12 // Prov. 31:25b, 30).

  10. 依靠神（路得记2:12 // 箴31:25下, 30）。

  11. Dressed with care (Ruth 3:3 // Prov. 31:22, 25a).

  12. 谨慎着装（路得记3:3 // 箴31:22, 25上）。

  13. Discreet with men (Ruth 3:6–13 // Prov. 31:11, 12, 23).

  14. 与男子相处谨慎（路得记3:6-13 // 箴31:11, 12, 23）。

  15. Delivered blessings (Ruth 4:14, 15 // Prov. 31:28, 29, 31).

  16. 带来祝福（路得记4:14, 15 // 箴31:28, 29, 31）。
