Context — Ruth’s Redemption Assured
7After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
8At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
9“Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, for you are a kinsman-redeemer. ”
10Then Boaz said, “May the LORD bless you, my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before, because you have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. 11And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.Cross References

May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.” “My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.” |

Ruth 3:9 Summary
[Ruth 3:9 shows us that Ruth is seeking protection and care from Boaz, who is a close relative and a kinsman-redeemer. She asks him to spread the corner of his garment over her, which is a symbol of seeking a covenant relationship and coverage under his care. This verse reminds us that, just like Ruth, we can seek protection and care from God, who is our ultimate redeemer and provider, as seen in Psalms 23:1-4 and Matthew 6:25-34. By trusting in God's provision and care, we can have faith and confidence in His love and protection for us.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Boaz to be a kinsman-redeemer?
In the context of Ruth 3:9, a kinsman-redeemer is a close relative who has the responsibility to protect and care for a family member in need, as seen in Leviticus 25:25 and Deuteronomy 25:5-10. This role is significant in understanding Ruth's request to Boaz.
Why does Ruth ask Boaz to spread the corner of his garment over her?
Ruth's request is a symbol of seeking protection, marriage, and coverage under Boaz's care, as seen in Deuteronomy 22:30 and Ezekiel 16:8. This act represents her desire for a covenant relationship with Boaz.
What can we learn from Ruth's boldness in approaching Boaz?
Ruth's courage in seeking out Boaz and making her request is an example of faith and trust in God's provision, as seen in Hebrews 11:6. Her actions demonstrate the importance of being bold and taking initiative in seeking God's will.
How does this verse relate to the concept of redemption in the Bible?
The concept of a kinsman-redeemer in Ruth 3:9 points to the greater theme of redemption in the Bible, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, as seen in Galatians 4:4-5 and Revelation 5:9. This verse highlights the importance of a redeemer in providing salvation and protection.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can demonstrate faith and trust in God's provision, like Ruth did in this verse?
- How can I seek protection and coverage under God's care, just as Ruth sought it under Boaz's care?
- What are some bold steps I can take to seek God's will and provision in my life, like Ruth took in approaching Boaz?
- In what ways can I apply the concept of a kinsman-redeemer to my understanding of Jesus Christ as my redeemer?
Gill's Exposition on Ruth 3:9
And he said, who art thou?.... He spoke quick and short, as one displeased, or however surprised and frightened, just coming out of sleep, and in the night: and she answered, I am Ruth thine
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ruth 3:9
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. Spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; because thou art a near kinsman.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ruth 3:9
Spread thy skirt over thine hand-maid, i.e. take me to be thy wife, and perform the duty of an husband to me. This phrase is used in this sense 27:20 . Either, first, Because the wife is admitted into the same bed with her husband, and both are covered with one and the same covering. Or, secondly, From an ancient ceremony of the husband’ s throwing the skirt of his garment over her head, in token both of her subjection, ,6,10, and appropriation to him, being hereby as it were hid from the eyes of others; see ; and also of that protection which he oweth to her: see .
Trapp's Commentary on Ruth 3:9
Rth 3:9 And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou [art] a near kinsman.Ver. 9. Spread therefore thy skirt.] Tostatus thinketh that by this speech she desired him to lie with her; which is gross. Rather, hereby she desired him to marry her - see Ezekiel 16:8, - and as a husband to nourish and cherish her; and he understandeth her no otherwise, as appeareth by his answer. For thou art a near kinsman.] And so hast the right of redemption, and reason to raise up seed to my deceased husband. Let us go boldly to Jesus Christ our elder Brother, and say to him in like sort, Thou, Lord, art my near and dear kinsman, Oh spread thy skirt over me, &c.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ruth 3:9
(9) Skirt.—Literally wing; Heb. canaph, as in Rth 2:12. The Targum treats this as in itself the claim to espousal on her part. The metaphor may be illustrated from Ezekiel 16:8, and more generally from Matthew 23:37.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ruth 3:9
Verse 9. Spread therefore thy skirt over thine hand maid] Hebrew, Spread thy wing. The wing is the emblem of protection, and is a metaphor taken from the young of fowls, which run under the wings of their mothers, that they may be saved from birds of prey. The meaning here is, Take me to thee for wife; and so the Targum has translated it, Let thy name be called on thy handmaid to take me for wife, because thou art the redeemer; i.e., thou art the גאל goel, the kinsman, to whom the right of redemption belongs. See on Ruth 2:20. Even to the present day, when a Jew marries a woman, he throws the skirt or end of his talith over her, to signify that he has taken her under his protection.
Cambridge Bible on Ruth 3:9
9. spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid] This symbolic act denoted that the kinsman claimed the widow as his wife. Cf. Ezekiel 16:8. The custom prevailed among the early Arabs; a good illustration is given in Ṭ ?abarî’s commentary on the Koran (Sura 4:23, forbidding men to ‘inherit women against their will’): ‘In the Jâhilîya, when a man’s father or brother or son died and left a widow, the dead man’s heir, if he came at once and threw his garment over her, had the right to marry her under the dowry of [i.e. already paid by] her [deceased] lord, or to give her in marriage and take her dowry. But if she anticipated him and went off to her own people, then the disposal of her hand belonged to herself’; Robertson Smith, Kinship etc., p. 87. See also Sale’s translation of the Koran (Warne & Co.), p. 56 and note. a near kinsman] The primary meaning of the Hebr. go’el is ‘one who enforces a claim’ which has lapsed; so ‘one who re-claims’ or ‘re-vindicates.’ Hence the verb is used of redeeming a house or field after it has been sold, or an Israelite who has been obliged to sell himself as a slave (Leviticus 25:25 ff., Leviticus 25:47 ff.), or something which has been vowed to Jehovah; in the expression go’el had-dâm, ‘the avenger of blood,’ Deuteronomy 19:6; Deuteronomy 19:12 etc., it denotes ‘one who vindicates the rights of the murdered man;’ see Driver in loc. But since a man was not as a rule able himself to redeem a right which had lapsed, the duty fell upon his family and more particularly upon his nearest relative; in this way go’el came to mean ‘the next of kin.’ Boaz, however, was not the nearest relative (Rth 3:12), so he could not act unless the next of kin declined; nor did the Pentatenchal law require the go’el to marry the widow of the deceased in addition to redeeming his property, though custom sanctioned the marriage. Hence Ruth’s appeal to the generosity of Boaz.
Barnes' Notes on Ruth 3:9
Spread thy skirt ... - The phrase indicates receiving and acknowledging her as a wife.
Whedon's Commentary on Ruth 3:9
9. Spread… thy skirt over thine handmaid — Literally, spread thy wing. The meaning is, Take me into the protection and intimacy of the marriage relation.
