# Are you not listening to me, my daughter
This rhetorical question can be reworded as a command. Alternate translation: "Listen to me, my daughter" or "Note well what I am telling you, my daughter" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# my daughter
This was a kind way of addressing a younger woman. Ruth was not the actual daughter of Boaz, so make sure the translation of this does not make it sound like she was. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
