Ruth 2:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Her hap was, &c. It was a chance in appearance, and in reference to second causes, but ordered by God's providence. God wisely orders small events, even those that seem altogether contingent. Many a great affair is brought about by a little turn, fortuitous as to men, but designed by God.

Ruth 2:3

3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hapb was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
