Ruth 3:8 in Context — Ruth 3
6 Elle descendit à l’aire, et fit tout ce qu’avait ordonné sa belle-mère.
7 Boaz mangea et but, et son cœur était joyeux. Il alla se coucher à l’extrémité d’un tas de gerbes. Ruth vint alors tout doucement, découvrit ses pieds, et se coucha.
8 Au milieu de la nuit, cet homme eut une frayeur; il se pencha, et voici, une femme était couchée à ses pieds.
9 Il dit: Qui es-tu? Elle répondit: Je suis Ruth, ta servante; étends ton aile sur ta servante, car tu as droit de rachat.
10 Et il dit: Sois bénie de l’Éternel, ma fille! Ce dernier trait témoigne encore plus en ta faveur que le premier, car tu n’as pas recherché des jeunes gens, pauvres ou riches.
