Ruth 3

1And NaomiH5281 herH559 mother in law saidH559 unto herH559, My daughterH1323, shall I notH3808 seekH1245 restH4494 for thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee? 2And nowH6258 is there notH3808 BoazH1162 our kinsmanH4130, with whoseH834 maidensH5291 thou wast? BeholdH2009, he winnoweth barleyH8184 to-night in the threshing-floor. 3WashH7364 thyself therefore, and anointH5480 thee, and putH7760 on thy raiment uponH5921 thee, and get thee downH3381 to the threshing-floor: but makeH7760 notH408 thyself knownH3045 to the manH376, untilH5704 he shall have done eatingH398 and drinkingH8354. 4And it shall be, when he lieth downH7901, that thou shalt mark the placeH4725 whereH834 he shall lieH7901, and thou shalt goH935 in, and uncoverH1540 his feetH4772, and layH7901 thee downH7901; and he will tellH5046 thee whatH834 thou shalt doH6213. 5And sheH834 saidH559 unto herH3605, AllH3605 that thou sayest I will doH6213. 6And sheH834 wentH3381 downH3381 unto the threshing-floor, and didH6213 according to allH3605 that herH3605 mother in law bade herH3605. 7And when BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, and his heartH3820 was merryH3190, he wentH935 to lieH7901 downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 of corn: and sheH3820 cameH935 softly, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772, and laidH7901 herH1540 downH7901. 8And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at midnight, that the manH376 was afraidH2729, and turnedH1961 himselfH376: and, beholdH2009, a womanH802 layH7901 at his feetH4772. 9And he saidH559, Who art thou? And sheH3588 answeredH559, I am RuthH7327 thine handmaidH519: spreadH6566 therefore thy skirtH3671 over thine handmaidH519; for thou art a nearH5921 kinsmanH1350. 10And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068, my daughterH1323: thou hast shewed moreH4480 kindnessH2617 in the latterH314 endH314 thanH4480 at the beginningH7223, inasmuch as thou followedst notH1115 youngH970 menH970, whetherH518 poorH1800 or richH6223. 11And nowH6258, my daughterH1323, fearH3372 notH408; I will doH6213 to thee allH3605 that thou sayest: for allH3605 the cityH8179 of my peopleH5971 doth knowH3045 that thou art a virtuous womanH802. 12And nowH6258 it is trueH551 that I am a nearH7138 kinsmanH1350: howbeit there is a kinsmanH1350 nearer thanH4480 I. 13Tarry this nightH3915, and it shall be in the morningH1242, that ifH518 he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsmanH1350, wellH2896; letH1961 him doH518 the kinsman’s part: but ifH518 he will notH3808 doH518 the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, then will I doH518 the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, as the LORDH3068 liveth: lieH7901 downH7901 untilH5704 the morningH1242. 14And sheH3588 layH7901 at his feetH4772 untilH5704 the morningH1242: and sheH3588 roseH6965 upH6965 beforeH5704 one couldH376 discernH3045 anotherH7453. For he saidH559, LetH408 it notH408 be knownH3045 that the womanH802 cameH935 to the threshing-floor. 15And he saidH559, BringH935 the mantle that is uponH5921 thee, and holdH270 it; and sheH834 heldH270 it: and he measuredH4058 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184, and laidH7896 it on herH5921: and he wentH935 intoH935 the cityH5892. 16And when sheH834 cameH935 to herH3605 mother in law, sheH834 saidH559, Who art thou, my daughterH1323? And sheH834 toldH5046 herH3605 allH3605 that the manH376 had doneH6213 to herH3605. 17And sheH3588 saidH559, TheseH428 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 gaveH5414 he meH413; for he saidH559, GoH935 notH408 emptyH7387 unto thy mother in law. 18Then saidH559 sheH834, SitH3427 stillH8252, my daughterH1323, untilH5704 thou knowH3045 howH349 the matterH1697 will fallH5307: for the manH376 will notH3808 restH8252, untilH5704 he have finishedH3615 the thingH1697 this dayH3117.
