Booz s'occupe de la succession d'Élimélek
1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, "Come over here, friend, and sit down!" He turned aside, and sat down.2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." They sat down.3 He said to the near kinsman, "Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's.4 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, 'Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.' If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you." He said, "I will redeem it."5 Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance."6 The near kinsman said, "I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it."7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel.8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." He took off his shoe.9 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, "You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses this day."11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.12 Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young woman."Booz épouse Ruth; naissance d'Obed, ancêtre de David
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.14 The women said to Naomi, "Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him."16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.17 The women, her neighbors, gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi"; and they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.Liste des ancêtres de David
18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron,19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab,20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon,21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed,22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David. -
Booz s'occupe de la succession d'Élimélek
1 Booz était monté à la porte et s’y était assis. Or, voici que celui qui avait devoir de rachat et dont Booz avait parlé vint à passer. Booz lui dit : Approche-toi, assieds-toi ici, toi un tel. Il s’approcha et s’assit.2 Booz prit alors dix hommes parmi les anciens de la ville et dit : Asseyez-vous ici. Et ils s’assirent.3 Puis il dit à celui qui avait le devoir de rachat : Noémi, revenue de la campagne de Moab, a mis en vente la pièce de terre qui (appartenait) à notre frère Élimélek.4 Et moi j’ai pensé t’en informer et te dire : Fais (-en) l’acquisition en présence de ceux qui siègent et des anciens de mon peuple ! Si tu veux racheter, rachète ! Si tu ne rachètes pas, déclare-le moi, que je le sache, car il n’y a personne, à part toi, qui ait ce devoir. Je ne l’ai qu’après toi. Il répondit : C’est moi qui rachèterai.5 Booz dit : Le jour où tu acquerras le champ de la main de Noémi, tu l’acquerras (en même temps) de Ruth la Moabite, femme du défunt, pour maintenir le nom du défunt sur son héritage.6 Celui qui avait le devoir de rachat répondit : Je ne peux pas racheter pour mon compte, de peur de détruire mon héritage ; rachète pour toi ce que j’ai le devoir de racheter, car je ne peux pas racheter.7 Autrefois, en Israël, pour valider une affaire quelconque, relative à un rachat ou à un échange, on ôtait sa sandale et la donnait à l’autre, et cela servait d’attestation en Israël.8 Celui qui avait devoir de rachat dit donc à Booz : Fais l’acquisition pour ton compte ! Et il ôta sa sandale.9 Alors Booz dit aux anciens et à tout le peuple : Vous êtes témoins aujourd’hui que j’ai acquis de la main de Noémi tout ce qui (appartenait) à Élimélek, à Kilyôn et à Mahlôn,10 et que je me suis également acquis pour femme Ruth la Moabite, femme de Mahlôn, pour maintenir le nom du défunt sur son héritage et pour que le nom du défunt ne soit pas retranché d’entre ses frères et de la porte de sa ville. 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 donne à la femme qui entre dans ta maison (d’être) comme Rachel et Léa qui, toutes deux, ont bâti la maison d’Israël. Deviens puissant à Éphrata et fais-toi un nom à Bethléhem.12 Puisse la descendance que l’Éternel te donnera par cette jeune femme rendre ta maison semblable à la maison de Pérets que Tamar enfanta à Juda.Booz épouse Ruth; naissance d'Obed, ancêtre de David
13 Booz prit Ruth qui devint sa femme, et il alla vers elle. L’Éternel permit à Ruth de concevoir, et elle enfanta un fils.14 Les femmes dirent à Noémi : Béni soit l’Éternel qui ne t’a pas laissé manquer aujourd’hui d’un rédempteur dont le nom sera célébré en Israël.15 Il te fait revenir à la vie et soutient ta vieillesse ; car ta belle-fille qui t’aime l’a enfanté, elle qui vaut mieux pour toi que sept fils.16 Noémi prit l’enfant et le mit sur son sein et ce fut elle qui l’éleva.17 Les voisines lui donnèrent un nom en disant : Un fils est né à Noémi ! Elles l’appelèrent du nom d’Obed. C’est lui le père d’Isaï, père de David.Liste des ancêtres de David
18 Voici les descendants de Pérets : Pérets engendra Hetsrôn ;19 Hetsrôn engendra Ram ; Ram engendra Amminadab ;20 Amminadab engendra Nahchôn ; Nahchôn engendra Salma ;21 Salmôn engendra Booz ; Booz engendra Obed ;22 Obed engendra Isaï ; Isaï engendra David. -

Et les femmes... : 1Samuel 4.20 ; Luc 1.58.
Un libérateur. L'hébreu emploie ici le terme de goël, champion, rédempteur, défenseur. Le mot aujourd'hui, au verset 14, et le verset 15 montrent clairement qu'il s'agit, non de Boaz, mais de l'enfant qui perpétuera la race de Noomi et sera sa consolation et son soutien.
Ruth était un témoignage du Dieu vivant auprès du monde païen ; le Seigneur signifiait ainsi qu'Il n'oubliait personne dans Son plan de la Rédemption : au temps marqué, le Père et Ses élus, ne feront « qu'un » dans le salut.
Le mariage de Boaz et Ruth se fit sous l'égide de la prière et la naissance de leur enfant fut l'objet de diverses louanges. Quel dommage que cet exemple de piété ne soit pas davantage suivi aujourd'hui, parmi les chrétiens, ce qui éviterait, lors des mariages, de tomber dans le formalisme de ce monde !
Nous voyons dans ce texte l'origine filiale de David, au travers de Ruth. Plus tard, viendra le moment, où Bethlehem, en Juda, révélera une Merveille bien plus considérable que celle de la naissance du fils de Ruth : celle d'un bébé qui sera banni parmi les siens, ébranlant l'autorité romaine de cette époque, lors de l'arrivée des mages d'Orient, qui déposèrent devant Lui, à Ses pieds, de l'or, de l'encens et de la myrrhe. Son Nom durera éternellement et toutes les nations Le béniront.
Que par cette merveilleuse Descendance, Christ, tous les habitants de la terre soient bénis !
