Ruth 3
3Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?H5281H2545H559H1323H1245H4494H31902"And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.H1162H4130H5291H2219H8184H3915H16373"Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself 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.H7364H5480H7760H8071H3381H1637H3045H376H3615H398H83544"And it shall be when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."H7901H3045H4725H7901H935H1540H4772H7901H5046H62135And she said to her, "All that you say I will do."H559H559H62136So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.H3381H1637H6213H2545H66807When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down.H1162H398H8354H3820H3190H935H7901H7097H6194H935H3909H1540H4772H79018And it happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.H2677H3915H376H2729H3943H802H7901H47729And he said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a close relative."H559H559H7327H519H6566H3671H519H135010Then he said, "May you be blessed of the LORD, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.H559H1288H3068H1323H3190H2617H314H7223H3212H310H1115H970H1800H622311"And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence.H1323H3372H6213H559H8179H5971H3045H2428H80212"And now it is true I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.H551H1350H3426H1350H713813"Remain this night, and when morning comes, if he will redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to redeem you, then I will redeem you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until morning."H3885H3915H1242H1350H2896H1350H2654H1350H1350H3068H2416H7901H124214So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."H7901H4772H1242H6965H2958H376H5234H7453H559H3045H802H935H163715Again he said, "Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six [measures] of barley and laid [it] on her. Then she went into the city.H559H3051H4304H270H270H4058H8337H8184H7896H935H589216And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" And she told her all that the man had done for her.H935H2545H559H1323H5046H376H621317And she said, "These six [measures] of barley he gave to me, for he said, 'Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"H559H8337H8184H5414H559H935H7387H254518Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today."H559H3427H1323H3045H1697H5307H376H8252H518H3615H1697H3117
