# Keep your eyes only on the field

The eyes represent watching something or paying attention to something. Alternate translation: "Watch only the field" or "Pay attention only to the field" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# Have I not instructed the men ... you?

Boaz used this question to emphasize what he had already done to help Ruth. Alternate translation: "I have given the men strict instructions ... you." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# men ... the other women

"young male workers ... young female workers." The word "men" is used three times to refer to the young men who are harvesting in the field. Some languages can say this using one word, and they have a different word that means young women workers.

# not to touch you

Possible meanings are 1) the men were not to harm Ruth or 2) the men were not to stop her from gleaning in his field.

# the water that the men have drawn

To draw water means to pull up water from a well or to take it out of a storage vessel.

# young men

You may need to make explicit that these were Boaz's servants, as do many versions. Alternate translation: "servants" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
