La demande de Ruth
3 Noémi, la belle-mère de Ruth, lui dit un jour : Ma fille, je ne veux pas négliger de te chercher une situation qui te rende heureuse. 2 Tu sais que Booz, avec les servantes duquel tu as travaillé, est notre parent. Ce soir il doit vanner l’orge amassée dans l’aire. 3 Lave-toi donc et parfume-toi, puis mets tes plus beaux habits et rends-toi à l’aire où il bat son orge[a]. Mais ne fais pas connaître ta présence avant qu’il ait fini de manger et de boire.

- 3.3 L’orge était battue par les animaux durant la journée. On profitait de la brise du soir pour la vanner : on jetait en l’air des pelletées de grains mélangés à la paille et à la bale. Le vent emportait ces dernières, le grain, plus lourd, retombait sur l’aire.

3 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
