RU-3:1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter,
shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
RU-3:2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens
thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the
threshingfloor.
RU-3:3 Wash thy self therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy
raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: [but] make
not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating
and drinking.
RU-3:4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark
the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover
his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou
shalt do.
RU-3:5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I
will do.
RU-3:6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to
all that her mother in law bade her.
RU-3:7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was
merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and
she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
RU-3:8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid,
and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
RU-3:9 And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am]
Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine
handmaid; for thou [art] a near kinsman.
RU-3:10 And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter:
[for] thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at
the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men,
whether poor or rich.
RU-3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all
that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know
that thou [art] a virtuous woman.
RU-3:12 And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit
there is a kinsman nearer than I.
RU-3:13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that]
if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let
him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a
kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee,
[as] the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
RU-3:14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose
up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be
known that a woman came into the floor.
RU-3:15 Also he said, Bring the veil that [thou hast] upon thee,
and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of
barley, and laid [it] on her: and she went into the city.
RU-3:16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who
[art] thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had
done to her.
RU-3:17 And she said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me;
for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
RU-3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know
how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until
he have finished the thing this day.
