Ruth 3:1-8

1And NaomiH5281 her mother-in-law saidH559 unto her, My daughterH1323, shall I not seekH1245 restH4494 for thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee? 2And nowH6258 is not BoazH1162 our kinsman, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barleyH8184 to-night in the threshing-floor. 3WashH7364 thyself therefore, and anointH5480 thee, and putH7760 thy raiment upon thee, and get thee downH3381 to the threshing-floor, but makeH7760 not thyself knownH3045 unto the manH376, until he shall have done eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4And it shall beH1961, when he lieth downH7901, that thou shalt mark the placeH4725 whereH834 he shall lieH7901, and thou shalt goH935 in, and uncoverH1540 his feet, and layH7901 thee downH7901; and he will tellH5046 thee what thou shalt do. 5And she saidH559 unto her, All that thou sayest I will do.

6And she wentH3381 downH3381 unto the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her. 7And when BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, and his heartH3820 was merry, he wentH935 to lieH7901 down at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 of grain: and she cameH935 softly, and uncoveredH1540 his feet, and laidH7901 her downH7901. 8And it came to pass at midnight, that the manH376 wasH1961 afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a womanH802 layH7901 at his feet.
