Bible Comments

Then went Boaz up to the (a) gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, (b) Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

(a) Which was the place of judgment.

(b) The Hebrews here use two words which have no proper meaning, but serve to denote a certain person, as we would say, "Ho, so-and-so".
