Ruth 3:9-13

3:9

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}

3:10

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>_.

3:11

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}

3:12

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.

3:13

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>_.
