Ruth 3:7-15

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.

Tarry
<03885> (8798)

this night
<03915>_,

and it shall be in the morning
<01242>_,

[that] if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman
<01350> (8799)_,

well
<02896>_;

let him do the kinsman's part
<01350> (8799)_:

but if he will
<02654> (8799)

not do the part of a kinsman
<01350> (8800)

to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman
<01350> (8804)

to thee, [as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_:

lie down
<07901> (8798)

until the morning
<01242>_.

And she lay
<07901> (8799)

at his feet
<04772>

until the morning
<01242>_:

and she rose up
<06965> (8799)

before
<02958>

one
<0376>

could know
<05234> (8686)

another
<07453>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let it not be known
<03045> (8735)

that a woman
<0802>

came
<0935> (8804)

into the floor
<01637>_.

Also he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03051> (8798)

the vail
<04304>

that [thou hast] upon thee, and hold
<0270> (8798)

it. And when she held
<0270> (8799)

it, he measured
<04058> (8799)

six
<08337>

[measures] of barley
<08184>_,

and laid
<07896> (8799)

[it] on her: and she went
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

{vail: or, sheet, or, apron}
