Ruth 4:6

Back to Ruth'
I cannot.
The Targum seems to give the proper sense of this passage:
"I cannot redeem it, because I have a wife already; and it is not fit for me to bring another into my house, lest brawling and contention arise in it; and lest I hurt my own inheritance.
Do thou redeem it, for thou has no wife; which hinders me from redeeming it."
Ru 4:6
