Ruth 3:1-12

Then Naomi
<05281>

her mother in law
<02545>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, My daughter
<01323>_,

shall I not seek
<01245> (8762)

rest
<04494>

for thee, that it may be well
<03190> (8799)

with thee?

And now [is] not Boaz
<01162>

of our kindred
<04130>_,

with whose maidens
<05291>

thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth
<02219> (8802)

barley
<08184>

to night
<03915>

in the threshingfloor
<01637>_.

Wash
<07364> (8804)

thyself therefore, and anoint
<05480> (8804)

thee, and put
<07760> (8804)

thy raiment
<08071>

upon thee, and get thee down
<03381> (8804)

to the floor
<01637>_:

[but] make not thyself known
<03045> (8735)

unto the man
<0376>_,

until he shall have done
<03615> (8763)

eating
<0398> (8800)

and drinking
<08354> (8800)_.

And it shall be, when he lieth down
<07901> (8800)_,

that thou shalt mark
<03045> (8804)

the place
<04725>

where he shall lie
<07901> (8799)_,

and thou shalt go in
<0935> (8804)_,

and uncover
<01540> (8765)

his feet
<04772>_,

and lay thee down
<07901> (8804)_;

and he will tell
<05046> (8686)

thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_.

{uncover: or, lift up the clothes that are on}

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, All that thou sayest
<0559> (8799)

unto me I will do
<06213> (8799)_.

And she went down
<03381> (8799)

unto the floor
<01637>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

according to all that her mother in law
<02545>

bade
<06680> (8765)

her.

And when Boaz
<01162>

had eaten
<0398> (8799)

and drunk
<08354> (8799)_,

and his heart
<03820>

was merry
<03190> (8799)_,

he went
<0935> (8799)

to lie down
<07901> (8800)

at the end
<07097>

of the heap of corn
<06194>_:

and she came
<0935> (8799)

softly
<03909>_,

and uncovered
<01540> (8762)

his feet
<04772>_,

and laid her down
<07901> (8799)_.

And it came to pass at midnight
<02677> <03915>_,

that the man
<0376>

was afraid
<02729> (8799)_,

and turned
<03943> (8735)

himself: and, behold, a woman
<0802>

lay
<07901> (8802)

at his feet
<04772>_.

{turned: or, took hold on}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [art] thou? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] Ruth
<07327>

thine handmaid
<0519>_:

spread
<06566> (8804)

therefore thy skirt
<03671>

over thine handmaid
<0519>_;

for thou [art] a near kinsman
<01350> (8802)_.

{a near...: or, one that hath right to redeem}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou of the LORD
<03068>_,

my daughter
<01323>_:

[for] thou hast shewed
<03190> (8689)

more kindness
<02617>

in the latter end
<0314>

than at the beginning
<07223>_,

inasmuch as thou followedst
<03212> (8800) <0310>

not
<01115>

young men
<0970>_,

whether poor
<01800>

or rich
<06223>_.

And now, my daughter
<01323>_,

fear
<03372> (8799)

not; I will do
<06213> (8799)

to thee all that thou requirest
<0559> (8799)_:

for all the city
<08179>

of my people
<05971>

doth know
<03045> (8802)

that thou [art] a virtuous
<02428>

woman
<0802>_.

{city: Heb. gate}

And now it is true
<0551>

that I [am thy] near kinsman
<01350> (8802)_:

howbeit there is
<03426>

a kinsman
<01350> (8802)

nearer
<07138>

than I.
