Ruth 3

1And NaomiH5281 her mother-in-law saidH559 to her, My daughterH1323, shall I not seekH1245 restH4494 for thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee? 2And nowH6258, is not BoazH1162 of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he is winnowingH2219 barleyH8184 in the threshing-floor to-night. 3WashH7364 thyself therefore, and anointH5480 thyself, and putH7760 thy raiment upon thee, and goH3381 down to the floorH1637; makeH7760 not thyself knownH3045 to the manH376, until he shall have done eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4And it shall beH1961, when he liesH7901 downH7901, that thou shalt mark the placeH4725 whereH834 he shall have lainH7901 downH7901, and thou shalt goH935 in, and uncoverH1540 his feet, and layH7901 thyself downH7901; and he will shew thee what thou shalt do. 5And she saidH559 to her, All that thou sayest will I do. 6And she wentH3381 downH3381 to the floorH1637, and did according to all that her mother-in-law had bidden her. 7And BoazH1162 ateH398 and drankH8354, and his heartH3820 was merry, and he wentH935 to lieH7901 down at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 of corn. Then she wentH935 softly, and uncoveredH1540 his feet, and laidH7901 herself downH7901. 8And it came to pass at midnight, that the manH376 wasH1961 startled, and turned himself; and behold, a womanH802 layH7901 at his feet. 9And he saidH559, Who art thou? And she answered, I am RuthH7327, thy handmaid: spreadH6566 thy skirtH3671 over thy handmaid; for thou hast the right of redemption. 10And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of Jehovah, my daughterH1323! Thou hast shewn moreH4480 kindness at the end than at the firstH7223, inasmuch as thou followedst not youngH970 menH970, whether poorH1800 or richH6223. 11And nowH6258, my daughterH1323, fearH3372 not: all that thou sayest will I do to thee; for all the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 knowsH3045 that thou art a womanH802 of worth. 12And nowH6258, truly I am oneH4480 that has the right of redemption, yet there is oneH4480 that has the right of redemption who is nearer than I. 13StayH3885 over to-night, and it shall beH1961 in the morningH1242, if he will redeemH1350 thee, well — let him redeemH1350; but if he like not to redeemH1350 thee, then will I redeemH1350 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 knowH3045 another. And he saidH559, Let it not be knownH3045 that a womanH802 cameH935 into the threshing-floor. 15And he saidH559, BringH935 the cloak that thou hast 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 she cameH935 to her mother-in-law; and 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 to me, GoH935 not emptyH7387 to thy mother-in-law. 18Then she saidH559, Be still, my daughterH1323, until thou knowH3045 howH349 the matterH1697 will fallH5307; for the manH376 will not rest until he have completedH3615 the matterH1697 this dayH3117.
