Ruth 3:16 - Prayer Tents

Ruth and Boaz at the Threshing Floor

3Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?H5281H2545H559H1323H1245H4494H31902Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.H1162H4130H5291H2219H8184H3915H16373Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your cloak 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, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do."H7901H3045H4725H7901H935H1540H4772H7901H5046H62135And she replied, "All that you say I will do."H559H559H62136So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had commanded 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 she came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down.H1162H398H8354H3820H3190H935H7901H7097H6194H935H3909H1540H4772H79018At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet!H2677H3915H376H2729H3943H802H7901H47729He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your wings over your servant, for you are a redeemer."H559H559H7327H519H6566H3671H519H135010And he said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have made this last kindness greater than the first in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.H559H1288H3068H1323H3190H2617H314H7223H3212H310H1115H970H1800H622311And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman.H1323H3372H6213H559H8179H5971H3045H2428H80212And now it is true that I am a redeemer. Yet there is a redeemer nearer than I.H551H1350H3426H1350H713813Remain tonight, and in the morning, if he will redeem you, good; let him do it. But if he is not willing to redeem you, then, as the LORD lives, I will redeem you. Lie down until the morning."H3885H3915H1242H1350H2896H1350H2654H1350H1350H3068H2416H7901H124214So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another. And he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."H7901H4772H1242H6965H2958H376H5234H7453H559H3045H802H935H163715And he said, "Bring the garment you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley and put it on her. Then she went into the city.H559H3051H4304H270H270H4058H8337H8184H7896H935H589216And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did you fare, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her,H935H2545H559H1323H5046H376H621317saying, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said to me, 'You must not go back empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"H559H8337H8184H5414H559H935H7387H254518She replied, "Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today."H559H3427H1323H3045H1697H5307H376H8252H518H3615H1697H3117
