Book 08 : RUTH - Chapter 003

003:001

And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor

003:002

Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking

003:003

And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do

003:004

And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do

003:005

And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her

003:006

And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down

003:007

And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet

003:008

And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman

003:009

And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich

003:010

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman

003:011

And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I

003:012

Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning

003:013

And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor

003:014

Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city

003:015

And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her

003:016

And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law

003:017

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day
