Ruth 3:8-13

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.
