6So she went downH3381 to the threshing floorH1637 and didH6213 everythingH3605 her mother-in-lawH2545 had instructed herH6680 to do.

7After BoazH1162 had finished eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 and was in good spiritsH3190H3820, he wentH935 to lie downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heap of grainH6194. Then Ruth went in secretlyH935H3909, uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772, and lay downH7901.

At midnightH2677H3915, BoazH376 was startledH2729, turned overH3943, and thereH2009 lyingH7901 at his feetH4772 was a womanH802!

9“WhoH4310 are youH859?” he askedH559.

“IH595 am your servantH519 RuthH7327,” she repliedH559. “SpreadH6566 the corner of your garmentH36711 overH5921 meH519, forH3588 youH859 are a kinsman-redeemerH1350.2”
