Ruth 4:2 in Context — Ruth 4
1 Boaz monta à la porte, et s’y arrêta. Or voici, celui qui avait droit de rachat, et dont Boaz avait parlé, vint à passer. Boaz lui dit: Approche, reste ici, toi un tel. Et il s’approcha, et s’arrêta.
2 Boaz prit alors dix hommes parmi les anciens de la ville, et il dit: Asseyez-vous ici. Et ils s’assirent.
3 Puis il dit à celui qui avait le droit de rachat: Naomi, revenue du pays de Moab, a vendu la pièce de terre qui appartenait à notre frère Élimélec.
4 J’ai cru devoir t’en informer, et te dire: Acquiers-la, en présence des habitants et en présence des anciens de mon peuple. Si tu veux racheter, rachète; mais si tu ne veux pas, déclare-le-moi, afin que je le sache. Car il n’y a personne avant toi qui ait le droit de rachat, et je l’ai après toi. Et il répondit: je rachèterai.
