Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ruth 2:3

_ _ her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz — Fields in Palestine being unenclosed, the phrase signifies that portion of the open ground which lay within the landmarks of Boaz.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ruth 2:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ruth 2:3

Her hap — It was a chance 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.
