Ruth.

Ruth 2:10-13; 1Sam 25:41; Luke 14:11

spread therefore.

Hebrew "spread thy wing;" the emblem of protection; and a metaphor taken from the young of fowls, which run under the wings of their mother from birds of prey.

Even to the present day, when a Jew marries a woman, he throws the skirts of his {talith} over her, to signify that he has taken her under his protection.

Eze 16:8

a near kinsman. or, one that has right to redeem.

Ruth 3:12; Ruth 2:20
