Ruth 3:1-9

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.
