Ruth 3:9

Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex

3:9
“Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment (note: Or Spread your wing; the word for wing can also mean corner of a garment; see Ruth 2:12.) over me, for you are a kinsman-redeemer (note: The Hebrew word for kinsman-redeemer or guardian-redeemer is a legal term for the kinsman who redeems or vindicates a relative; similarly in verses 12 and 13; see Leviticus 25:25–55.).”
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־ אָ֑תּ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אָנֹכִי֙ ר֣וּת אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֤ כְנָפֶ֙ךָ֙ עַל־ אֲמָ֣תְךָ֔ כִּ֥י גֹאֵ֖ל אָֽתָּה׃
