| 3:1 | 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? |
| 3:2 | 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>. |
| 3:3 | 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). |
| 3:4 | 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} |
| 3:5 | And she said <0559> (8799) unto her, All that thou sayest <0559> (8799) unto me I will do <06213> (8799). |
| 3:6 | 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. |
| 3:7 | 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). |
| 3:8 | 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} |
| 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>. |
| 3:14 | 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>. |
| 3:15 | 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} |
| 3:16 | And when she came <0935> (8799) to her mother in law <02545>, she said <0559> (8799), Who [art] thou, my daughter <01323>? And she told <05046> (8686) her all that the man <0376> had done <06213> (8804) to her. |
| 3:17 | And she said <0559> (8799), These six <08337> [measures] of barley <08184> gave <05414> (8804) he me; for he said <0559> (8804) to me, Go <0935> (8799) not empty <07387> unto thy mother in law <02545>. |
| 3:18 | Then said <0559> (8799) she, Sit still <03427> (8798), my daughter <01323>, until thou know <03045> (8799) how the matter <01697> will fall <05307> (8799): for the man <0376> will not be in rest <08252> (8799), until <0518> he have finished <03615> (8765) the thing <01697> this day <03117>. |
