Ruth and Boaz at the Threshing Floor

3Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you.H5281H2545H559H1323H1245H4494H3190 2Now here is our kinsman Boaz, with whose young women you have been working. See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.H1162H4130H5291H2219H8184H3915H1637 3Now wash 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.H7364H5480H7760H8071H3381H1637H3045H376H3615H398H8354 4When 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."H7901H3045H4725H7901H935H1540H4772H7901H5046H6213 5She said to her, "All that you tell me I will do."H559H559H6213 6So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had instructed her.H3381H1637H6213H2545H6680 7When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and he was in a contented mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came stealthily and uncovered his feet, and lay down.H1162H398H8354H3820H3190H935H7901H7097H6194H935H3909H1540H4772H7901 8At midnight the man was startled, and turned over, and there, lying at his feet, was a woman!H2677H3915H376H2729H3943H802H7901H4772 9He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, your servant; spread your cloak over your servant, for you are next-of-kin."H559H559H7327H519H6566H3671H519H1350 10He said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter; this last instance of your loyalty is better than the first; you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.H559H1288H3068H1323H3190H2617H314H7223H3212H310H1115H970H1800H6223 11And now, my daughter, do not be afraid, I will do for you all that you ask, for all the assembly of my people know that you are a worthy woman.H1323H3372H6213H559H8179H5971H3045H2428H802 12But now, though it is true that I am a near kinsman, there is another kinsman more closely related than I.H551H1350H3426H1350H7138 13Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will act as next-of-kin for you, good; let him do it. If he is not willing to act as next-of-kin for you, then, as the LORD lives, I will act as next-of-kin for you. Lie down until the morning."H3885H3915H1242H1350H2896H1350H2654H1350H1350H3068H2416H7901H1242 14So she lay at his feet until morning, but got up before one person could recognize another; for he said, "It must not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."H7901H4772H1242H6965H2958H376H5234H7453H559H3045H802H935H1637 15Then he said, "Bring the cloak you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and put it on her back; then he went into the city.H559H3051H4304H270H270H4058H8337H8184H7896H935H5892 16She came to her mother-in-law, who said, "How did things go with you, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her,H935H2545H559H1323H5046H376H6213 17saying, "He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, 'Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"H559H8337H8184H5414H559H935H7387H2545 18She 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
