The Bible Translator: Volume 21, Issue 4

There is a growing desire among translators to have Old Testament Handbooks which will deal with exegetical, textual and translation problems in the way these are being prepared for the New Testament. The Bible Translator wishes to give its readers an opportunity to express their opinions to the authors of these commentaries.
The following article represents part of a draft of a Translators' Handbook of Ruth. The original was prepared in French, using the French translation by Dhorme. This English translation uses the Revised Standard Version. The author has not attempted to deal with every verse in Ruth, but rather to provide a sample which can be read for the purpose of providing comments to the authors. Therefore, the Editor invites readers of TBT to study this sample and to send the author any suggestions or comments which may be useful in the preparation of a more detailed treatment of the Book of Ruth.
