ExplanationCommentary
Verse 7. Moment. Hebrew “her tarrying in the house is but small, or till now, that she remains a little in the house.” She entered the house with the reapers, during the excessive heat of the day, and to avoid the suspicion of taking more than was allowed, during their absence. Calmet.—Septuagint “she hath not discontinued to work in the field even a little.” Her diligence and modesty attracted the notice of Booz. Bible.
