And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Ahora bien, es cierto que yo soy tu pariente cercano que puede ayudarte, pero hay otro pariente que está aún más cerca de tu familia que yo.
Booz reconoce que aunque él puede ayudar a Rut como pariente, hay otro pariente con mayor derecho familiar.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the era of the Judges in ancient Israel, there was a custom called the kinsman-redeemer, where a close relative was obligated to help widowed family members by marrying them to preserve the family line and inheritance, as outlined in Mosaic laws. Boaz is speaking to Ruth, a Moabite widow, acknowledging that he qualifies as her kinsman-redeemer but must defer to a closer relative who has the prior legal claim. This practice underscores the importance of family loyalty and social obligations in Israelite society to protect the vulnerable.
