Ruth 3:8-15

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.
