Ruth 3:9

Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible

3:9
et ait illi : Quæ es ? Illaque respondit : Ego sum Ruth ancilla tua : expande pallium tuum super famulam tuam, quia propinquus es.
“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.).”
