Ruth 3:9

Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible

3:9
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־ אָ֑תּ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אָנֹכִי֙ ר֣וּת אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֤ כְנָפֶ֙ךָ֙ עַל־ אֲמָ֣תְךָ֔ כִּ֥י גֹאֵ֖ל אָֽתָּה׃
“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.).”
