Ruth 3:9 in Context — Ruth 3
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.
11 Maintenant, ma fille, ne crains point; je ferai pour toi tout ce que tu diras; car toute la porte de mon peuple sait que tu es une femme vertueuse.
