Ruth 2:9 in Context — Ruth 2
7 Elle a dit: Permettez-moi de glaner et de ramasser des épis entre les gerbes, derrière les moissonneurs. Et depuis ce matin qu’elle est venue, elle a été debout jusqu’à présent, et ne s’est reposée qu’un moment dans la maison.
8 Boaz dit à Ruth: Écoute, ma fille, ne va pas glaner dans un autre champ; ne t’éloigne pas d’ici, et reste avec mes servantes.
9 Regarde où l’on moissonne dans le champ, et va après elles. J’ai défendu à mes serviteurs de te toucher. Et quand tu auras soif, tu iras aux vases, et tu boiras de ce que les serviteurs auront puisé.
10 Alors elle tomba sur sa face et se prosterna contre terre, et elle lui dit: Comment ai-je trouvé grâce à tes yeux, pour que tu t’intéresses à moi, à moi qui suis une étrangère?
11 Boaz lui répondit: On m’a rapporté tout ce que tu as fait pour ta belle-mère depuis la mort de ton mari, et comment tu as quitté ton père et ta mère et le pays de ta naissance, pour aller vers un peuple que tu ne connaissais point auparavant.
