In the middle of the night he was startled<n id="1" /> and turned over.<n id="2" /> Now<n id="3" /> he saw a woman<n id="4" /> lying beside him!<n id="5" />

Now Boaz, with whose female servants you worked, is our close relative.<n id="1" /> Look, tonight he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor.<n id="2" />

Go back home, my daughters! For I am too old to get married again.<n id="1" /> Even if I thought that there was hope that I could get married tonight and conceive sons,<n id="2" />

Remain here tonight. Then in the morning, if he agrees to marry you,<n id="1" /> fine,<n id="2" /> let him do so.<n id="3" /> But if he does not want to do so, I promise, as surely as the <sc>Lordsc> lives, to marry you.<n id="4" /> Sleep here until morning.&#8221;<n id="5" />
