Ruth 3:9-14

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, “1May 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 2my people in the city know that you are 3a 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, 4if he will 5redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to 6redeem you, then I will redeem you, 7as the Lord lives. Lie down until morning.”

14So she lay at his feet until morning, and got up before one person could recognize another; and he said, “8Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
