# should I not seek a place for you?

# a place for you to rest

Possible meanings are 1) literally in finding a house for her to live in or 2) figuratively in finding a husband to care for her. Naomi probably had both senses in mind. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# is he not our kinsman?

Naomi probably used this question to remind Ruth of something she had already told her. AT: "he is our relative." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
