Ruth 4:9 in Context — Ruth 4
7 Autrefois en Israël, pour valider une affaire quelconque relative à un rachat ou à un échange, l’un ôtait son soulier et le donnait à l’autre: cela servait de témoignage en Israël.
8 Celui qui avait le droit de rachat dit donc à Boaz: Acquiers pour ton compte! Et il ôta son soulier.
9 Alors Boaz dit aux anciens et à tout le peuple: Vous êtes témoins aujourd’hui que j’ai acquis de la main de Naomi tout ce qui appartenait à Élimélec, à Kiljon et à Machlon,
10 et que je me suis également acquis pour femme Ruth la Moabite, femme de Machlon, pour relever le nom du défunt dans son héritage, et afin que le nom du défunt ne soit point retranché d’entre ses frères et de la porte de son lieu. Vous en êtes témoins aujourd’hui!
11 Tout le peuple qui était à la porte et les anciens dirent: Nous en sommes témoins! Que l’Éternel rende la femme qui entre dans ta maison semblable à Rachel et à Léa, qui toutes les deux ont bâti la maison d’Israël! Manifeste ta force dans Éphrata, et fais-toi un nom dans Bethléhem!
