Ruth 3:14-18

14So she lay at his feet until morning, and got up before one person could recognize another; and he said, “1Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”

15Again he said, “Give me the shawl that is on you and hold it.” So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her. Then 2she went into the city.

16When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “3How did it go, my daughter?” And she told her all that the man had done for her.

17She also said, “These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, ‘Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”

18Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter 4turns out; for the man will not rest until he has 5settled it today.”
