Ruth 3:2-14

2NowH6258 is not BoazH1162 1our 2kinsmanH4130, with whoseH834 maidsH5291 you were? BeholdH2009, he winnowsH2219 barleyH8184 at the threshingH1637 floorH1637 tonightH3915. 3WashH7364 yourself therefore, and anointH5480 yourself and putH7760 on your best clothesH8071, and goH3381 downH3381 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637; but do not makeH3045 yourself knownH3045 to the manH376 untilH5704 he has finishedH3615 eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4It shall be when he liesH7901 downH7901, that you shall 3noticeH3045 the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 he liesH7901, and you shall goH935 and uncoverH1540 his feetH4772 and lieH7901 downH7901; then he will tellH5046 you whatH834 you shall doH6213.” 5She saidH559 to her, “4AllH3605 that you sayH559 I will doH6213.”

6So she wentH3381 downH3381 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637 and didH6213 according to allH3605 that her mother-in-lawH2545 had commandedH6680 her. 7When BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354 and 5his heartH3820 was merryH3190, he wentH935 to lieH7901 downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 of grainH6194; and she cameH935 secretlyH3909, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772 and layH7901 downH7901. 8It happenedH1961 in the middleH2677 of the nightH3915 that the manH376 was startledH2729 and 6bentH3943 forwardH3943; and beholdH2009, a womanH802 was lyingH7901 at his feetH4772. 9He saidH559, “WhoH4310 are you?” And she answeredH559, “I am RuthH7327 your maidH519. So spreadH5203 your coveringH3671 overH5921 your maidH519, for you are a 7closeH1350 relativeH1350.” 10Then he saidH559, “8May you be blessedH1288 of the LordH3068, my daughterH1323. You have shownH3190 your lastH314 kindnessH2617 to be betterH3190 thanH4480 the firstH7223 by not goingH1980 afterH310 youngH970 menH970, whetherH518 poorH1800 orH518 richH6223. 11NowH6258, my daughterH1323, do not fearH3372. I will doH6213 for you whateverH3605H834 you 9askH559, for allH3605 my peopleH5971 in the 10cityH8179 knowH3045 that you are 11a womanH802 of excellenceH2428. 12NowH6258 it is trueH551 I am a 12closeH1350 relativeH1350; howeverH1571, thereH3426 is a 13relativeH1350 closerH7138 thanH4480 I. 13RemainH3885 this nightH3915, and when morningH1242 comesH1961, 14ifH518 he will 15redeemH1350 you, goodH2896; let him redeemH1350 you. But ifH518 he does not wishH2654 to 16redeemH1350 you, then I will redeemH1350 you, 17as the LordH3068 livesH2416. LieH7901 downH7901 untilH5704 morningH1242.”

14So she layH7901 at his feetH4772 untilH5704 morningH1242 and roseH6965 beforeH2962 oneH376 could recognizeH5234 anotherH7453; and he saidH559, “18Let it not be knownH3045 that the womanH802 cameH935 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637.”
