Ruth 3

Boaz Will Redeem Ruth

3THEN NAOMI her mother-in-law said to Ruth, My daughter, shall I not seek rest {or} a home for you, that you may prosper?H5281H2545H559H1323H1245H4494H31902And now is not Boaz, with whose maidens you were, our relative? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.H1162H4130H5291H2219H8184H3915H16373Wash and anoint yourself therefore, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.H7364H5480H7760H8071H3381H1637H3045H376H3615H398H83544But when he lies down, notice the place where he lies; then go and uncover his feet and lie down. And he will tell you what to do.H7901H3045H4725H7901H935H1540H4772H7901H5046H62135And Ruth said to her, All that you say to me I will do.H559H559H62136So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had told her.H3381H1637H6213H2545H66807And when Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then [Ruth] came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down.H1162H398H8354H3820H3190H935H7901H7097H6194H935H3909H1540H4772H79018At midnight the man was startled, and he turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet!H2677H3915H376H2729H3943H802H7901H47729And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your maidservant. Spread your wing [of protection] over your maidservant, for you are a next of kin.H559H559H7327H519H6566H3671H519H135010And he said, Blessed be you of the Lord, my daughter. For you have made this last loving-kindness greater than the former, for you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.H559H1288H3068H1323H3190H2617H314H7223H3212H310H1115H970H1800H622311And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do for you all you require, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of strength (worth, bravery, capability).H1323H3372H6213H559H8179H5971H3045H2428H80212It is true that I am your near kinsman; however, there is a kinsman nearer than I.H551H1350H3426H1350H713813Remain tonight, and in the morning if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good; let him do it. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you, then, as the Lord lives, I will do the part of a kinsman for you. Lie down until the morning.H3885H3915H1242H1350H2896H1350H2654H1350H1350H3068H2416H7901H124214And she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; for he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.H7901H4772H1242H6965H2958H376H5234H7453H559H3045H802H935H163715Also he said, Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it. So [Ruth] held it, and he measured out six measures of barley and laid it on her. And she went into the town.H559H3051H4304H270H270H4058H8337H8184H7896H935H589216And when she came home, her mother-in-law said, How have you fared, my daughter? And Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.H935H2545H559H1323H5046H376H621317And she said, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.H559H8337H8184H5414H559H935H7387H254518Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he finishes the matter today.H559H3427H1323H3045H1697H5307H376H8252H518H3615H1697H3117

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
