Ruth’s Redemption Assured

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?H5281H2545H559H1323H1245H4494H3190 2"Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our relative? In fact, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.H1162H4130H5291H2219H8184H3915H1637 3"Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.H7364H5480H7760H8071H3381H1637H3045H376H3615H398H8354 4"Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do."H7901H3045H4725H7901H935H1540H4772H7901H5046H6213 5And she said to her, "All that you say to me I will do."H559H559H6213 6So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.H3381H1637H6213H2545H6680 7And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.H1162H398H8354H3820H3190H935H7901H7097H6194H935H3909H1540H4772H7901 8Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.H2677H3915H376H2729H3943H802H7901H4772 9And he said, "Who are you?" So she answered, "I am Ruth, your maidservant. Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative."H559H559H7327H519H6566H3671H519H1350 10Then he said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.H559H1288H3068H1323H3190H2617H314H7223H3212H310H1115H970H1800H6223 11"And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.H1323H3372H6213H559H8179H5971H3045H2428H802 12"Now it is true that I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.H551H1350H3426H1350H7138 13"Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you—good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD lives! Lie down until morning."H3885H3915H1242H1350H2896H1350H2654H1350H1350H3068H2416H7901H1242 14So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, "Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."H7901H4772H1242H6965H2958H376H5234H7453H559H3045H802H935H1637 15Also he said, "Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it." And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.H559H3051H4304H270H270H4058H8337H8184H7896H935H5892 16So when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "Is that you, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her.H935H2545H559H1323H5046H376H6213 17And she said, "These six ephahs of barley he gave me; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"H559H8337H8184H5414H559H935H7387H2545 18Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day."H559H3427H1323H3045H1697H5307H376H8252H518H3615H1697H3117
