Ruth 4:1
Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down.

- Ascendit ergo Booz ad portam, et sedit ibi. Cumque vidisset propinquum præterire, de quo prius sermo habitus est, dixit ad eum : Declina paulisper, et sede hic : vocans eum nomine suo. Qui divertit, et sedit.

- Καὶ Βόος ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀγχιστευτὴς παρεπορεύετο ὃν εἶπεν Βόος. καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Βόος Ἐκκλίνας κάθισον ὧδε, κρύφιε· καὶ ἐξέκλινεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν.

Haydock's commentary
Gate, where justice was administered.
Calling. Hebrew Ploni Almoni. (Calmet)
Protestants, " Ho! such a one." (Haydock)
This form of speech is used concerning a person whose name we know not, or will not mention, 1 Kings xxi. 2. (Calmet)
The name of this man is buried in eternal oblivion, perhaps because he was so much concerned about the splendour of his family, that he would not marry the widow of his deceased relation. (Tirinus)
