- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Dormivit itaque ad pedes ejus, usque ad noctis abscessum. Surrexit itaque antequam homines se cognoscerent mutuo, et dixit Booz : Cave ne quis noverit quod huc veneris.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐκοιμήθη πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωί· ἡ δὲ ἀνέστη πρὸ τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναι ἄνδρα τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Βόος Μὴ γνωσθήτω ὅτι ἦλθεν γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ἅλωνα.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַתִּשְׁכַּ֤ב מרגלתו עַד הַבֹּ֔קֶר וַתָּ֕קָם בטרום יַכִּ֥יר אִ֖ישׁ אֶת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אַל יִוָּדַ֔ע כִּי בָ֥אָה הָאִשָּׁ֖ה הַגֹּֽרֶן
Haydock's commentary
Hither. The next kinsman might otherwise allege this as a pretext for not marrying her, (Salien) as people are but too apt to suspect the worst, though nothing amiss had passed between them. (Haydock)
Booz consulted his own as well as Ruth's reputation: for the apostle admonishes us to abstain from every appearance of evil, 1 Thessalonians v. 22. (Menochius)
