Ruth 3:12-18

12But nowH6258, althoughH3588 it is trueH551 that I am a redeemerH1350, yet thereH3426 isH3426 alsoH1571 a redeemerH1350 moreH4480 closelyH7138 relatedH7138 thanH4480 I. 13RemainH3885 this nightH3915, and when morningH1242 comesH1961, 1ifH518 he will 2redeemH1350 you, goodH2896; let him redeemH1350 you. But ifH518 he does not wishH2654 to 3redeemH1350 you, then I will redeemH1350 you, 4as the LordH3068 livesH2416. LieH7901 downH7901 untilH5704 morningH1242.”

14So she layH7901 at his feetH4772 untilH5704 morningH1242, and gotH6965 upH6965 beforeH2962 oneH376 personH376 could recognizeH5234 anotherH7453; and he saidH559, “5Do not let it be knownH3045 that the womanH802 cameH935 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637.” 15Again he saidH559, “GiveH3051 me the shawlH4304 that is on you and holdH270 it.” So she heldH270 it, and he measuredH4058 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 and laidH7896 it on her. Then 6she wentH935 into the cityH5892. 16When she cameH935 to her mother-in-lawH2545, she saidH559, “7HowH4310 did it go, my daughterH1323?” And she toldH5046 her allH3605 that the manH376 had doneH6213 for her. 17She also saidH559, “TheseH428 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 he gaveH5414 to me, for he saidH559, ‘Do not goH935 to your mother-in-lawH2545 empty-handedH7387.’” 18Then she saidH559, “WaitH3427, my daughterH1323, untilH5704H834 you knowH3045 howH349 the matterH1697 8turnsH5307 outH5307; for the manH376 will not restH8252 untilH3588H518 he has 9settledH3615 it todayH3117.”
