Ruth 3:8-13

8And it happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and 1bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet. 9So he said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth your slave. Now spread your garment over your slave, for you are a redeemer.” 10Then he said, “2May you be blessed of the Lord, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first, by not going after young men, whether poor or rich. 11So now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you say, for all 3my people in the city know that you are 4a woman of excellence. 12But now, although it is true that I am a redeemer, yet there is also a redeemer more closely related than I. 13Remain this night, and when morning comes, 5if he will 6redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to 7redeem you, then I will redeem you, 8as the Lord lives. Lie down until morning.”
