Ruth 3:1-8

1Then her mother-in-lawH2545 NaomiH5281 saidH559 to her, “My daughterH1323, shall I not seekH1245 1securityH4494 for you, that it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you? 2NowH6258 then, is BoazH1162 not 2our relativeH4130, with whoseH834 youngH5291 womenH5291 you were? BeholdH2009, he is winnowingH2219 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 revealH3045 yourself to the manH376 untilH5704 he has finishedH3615 eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4And it shall be when he liesH7901 downH7901, that you shall 3takeH3045 noticeH3045 of the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 he liesH7901, and you shall goH935 and uncoverH1540 his feetH4772 and lieH7901 downH7901; then he will tellH5046 you whatH834 you should doH6213.” 5And she 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 wasH3190 cheerfulH3190, he wentH935 to lieH7901 downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 ofH6194 grainH6194; and she cameH935 secretlyH3909, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772 and layH7901 downH7901. 8And it happenedH1961 in the middleH2677 of the nightH3915 that the manH376 was startledH2729 and 6bentH3943 forwardH3943; and beholdH2009, a womanH802 was lyingH7901 at his feetH4772.
