Ruth 3:12-18

12And nowH6258 it is true that I am a near kinsmanH1350; howbeit there is a kinsmanH1350 nearer than I. 13Tarry this nightH3915, and it shall beH1961 in the morningH1242, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsmanH1350, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, as Jehovah liveth: lieH7901 down until the morningH1242.

14And she layH7901 at his feet until the morningH1242: and she roseH6965 up before oneH376 could discern another. For he saidH559, Let it not be knownH3045 that the womanH802 cameH935 to the threshing-floor. 15And he saidH559, BringH935 the mantle that is upon thee, and holdH270 it; and she heldH270 it; and he measuredH4058 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184, and laid it on her: and he wentH935 into the cityH5892. 16And whenH834 she cameH935 to her mother-in-law, she saidH559, Who art thou, my daughterH1323? And she toldH5046 her all that the manH376 had done to her. 17And she saidH559, These sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 gaveH5414 he me; for he saidH559, GoH935 not emptyH7387 unto thy mother-in-law. 18Then saidH559 she, SitH3427 still, my daughterH1323, until thou knowH3045 howH349 the matterH1697 will fallH5307; for the manH376 will not rest, until he have finishedH3615 the thingH1697 this dayH3117.
