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?
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 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) .
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).
5 And she said <0559> (8799) unto her, All that thou sayest <0559> (8799) unto me I will do <06213> (8799).
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.
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).
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>.
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).
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>.
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>.
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.
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>.
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>.
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>.
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.
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>.
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>.
