Ruth 3:1-9
1Then NaomiH5281 her mother in lawH2545 saidH559 unto her, My daughterH1323, shall I not seekH1245 restH4494 for thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee? 2And now is not BoazH1162 of our kindredH4130, with whose maidensH5291 thou wast? Behold, he winnowethH2219 barleyH8184 to nightH3915 in the threshingfloorH1637. 3WashH7364 thyself therefore, and anointH5480 thee, and putH7760 thy raimentH8071 upon thee, and get thee downH3381 to the floorH1637: but make not thyself knownH3045 unto the manH376, until he shall have doneH3615 eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4And it shall be, when he lieth downH7901, that thou shalt markH3045 the placeH4725 where he shall lieH7901, and thou shalt go inH935, and uncoverH1540 his feetH4772, and lay thee downH7901; and he will tellH5046 thee what thou shalt doH6213.1 5And she saidH559 unto her, All that thou sayestH559 unto me I will doH6213.
6And she went downH3381 unto the floorH1637, and didH6213 according to all that her mother in lawH2545 badeH6680 her. 7And when BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, and his heartH3820 was merryH3190, he wentH935 to lie downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heap of grainH6194: and she cameH935 softlyH3909, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772, and laid her downH7901.
8And it came to pass at midnightH3915H2677, that the manH376 was afraidH2729, and turnedH3943 himself: and, behold, a womanH802 layH7901 at his feetH4772.2 9And he saidH559, Who art thou? And she answeredH559, I am RuthH7327 thine handmaidH519: spreadH6566 therefore thy skirtH3671 over thine handmaidH519; for thou art a near kinsmanH1350.3
