Ruth 3:12-18
12And now it is trueH551 that I am thy near kinsmanH1350: howbeit there isH3426 a kinsmanH1350 nearerH7138 than I. 13TarryH3885 this nightH3915, and it shall be in the morningH1242, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsmanH1350, wellH2896; let him do the kinsman’s partH1350: but if he willH2654 not do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, as YhwhH3068 livethH2416: lie downH7901 until the morningH1242.
14And she layH7901 at his feetH4772 until the morningH1242: and she rose upH6965 beforeH2958 oneH376 could knowH5234 anotherH7453. And he saidH559, Let it not be knownH3045 that a womanH802 cameH935 into the floorH1637. 15Also he saidH559, BringH3051 the vailH4304 that thou hast upon thee, and holdH270 it. And when she heldH270 it, he measuredH4058 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184, and laidH7896 it on her: and she wentH935 into the cityH5892.1 16And when she cameH935 to her mother in lawH2545, she saidH559, Who art thou, my daughterH1323? And she toldH5046 her all that the manH376 had doneH6213 to her. 17And she saidH559, These sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 gaveH5414 he me; for he saidH559 to me, GoH935 not emptyH7387 unto thy mother in lawH2545. 18Then saidH559 she, Sit stillH3427, my daughterH1323, until thou knowH3045 how the matterH1697 will fallH5307: for the manH376 will not be in restH8252, untilH518 he have finishedH3615 the thingH1697 this dayH3117.
