Ruth 3:8-13
8And it happenedH1961 in the middleH2677 of the nightH3915 that the manH376 was startledH2729 and 1bentH3943 forwardH3943; and beholdH2009, a womanH802 was lyingH7901 at his feetH4772. 9So he saidH559, “WhoH4310 are you?” And she answeredH559, “I am RuthH7327 your slaveH519. Now spreadH6566 your garmentH3671 overH5921 your slaveH519, for you are a redeemerH1350.” 10Then he saidH559, “2May you be blessedH1288 of the LordH3068, my daughterH1323. You have shownH3190 your lastH314 kindnessH2617 to be betterH3190 thanH4480 the firstH7223, by not goingH1980 afterH310 youngH970 menH970, whetherH518 poorH1800 orH518 richH6223. 11So nowH6258, my daughterH1323, do not fearH3372. I will doH6213 for you whateverH3605H834 you sayH559, for allH3605 3my peopleH5971 in the cityH8179 knowH3045 that you are 4a womanH802 of excellenceH2428. 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, 5ifH518 he will 6redeemH1350 you, goodH2896; let him redeemH1350 you. But ifH518 he does not wishH2654 to 7redeemH1350 you, then I will redeemH1350 you, 8as the LordH3068 livesH2416. LieH7901 downH7901 untilH5704 morningH1242.”
