Then NaomiH5281 her mother in lawH2545 saidH559 unto her, My daughterH1323, shall I not seekH1245 restH4494 for thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee?
And now is not BoazH1162 of our kindredH4130, with whose maidensH5291 thou wast? Behold, he winnowethH2219 barleyH8184 to nightH3915 in the threshingfloorH1637.
WashH7364 thyself therefore, and anointH5480 thee, and putH7760 thy raimentH8071 upon thee, and get thee downH3381 to the floorH1637: but make not thyself knownH3045 unto the manH376, until he shall have doneH3615 eatingH398 and drinkingH8354.
And it shall be, when he lieth downH7901, that thou shalt markH3045 the placeH4725 where he shall lieH7901, and thou shalt go inH935, and uncoverH1540 his feetH4772, and lay thee downH7901; and he will tellH5046 thee what thou shalt doH6213. {uncover: or, lift up the clothes that are on}
And she saidH559 unto her, All that thou sayestH559 unto me I will doH6213.
And she went downH3381 unto the floorH1637, and didH6213 according to all that her mother in lawH2545 badeH6680 her.
And when BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, and his heartH3820 was merryH3190, he wentH935 to lie downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heap of cornH6194: and she cameH935 softlyH3909, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772, and laid her downH7901.
And it came to pass at midnightH2677+H3915, that the manH376 was afraidH2729, and turnedH3943 himself: and, behold, a womanH802 layH7901 at his feetH4772. {turned: or, took hold on}
And he saidH559, Who art thou? And she answeredH559, I am RuthH7327 thine handmaidH519: spreadH6566 therefore thy skirtH3671 over thine handmaidH519; for thou art a near kinsmanH1350. {a near…: or, one that hath right to redeem}
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068, my daughterH1323: for thou hast shewedH3190 more kindnessH2617 in the latter endH314 than at the beginningH7223, inasmuch as thou followedstH3212+H310 notH1115 young menH970, whether poorH1800 or richH6223.
And now, my daughterH1323, fearH3372 not; I will doH6213 to thee all that thou requirestH559: for all the cityH8179 of my peopleH5971 doth knowH3045 that thou art a virtuousH2428 womanH802. {city: Heb. gate}
And now it is trueH551 that I am thy near kinsmanH1350: howbeit there isH3426 a kinsmanH1350 nearerH7138 than I.
TarryH3885 this nightH3915, and it shall be in the morningH1242, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsmanH1350, wellH2896; let him do the kinsman's partH1350: but if he willH2654 not do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsmanH1350 to thee, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416: lie downH7901 until the morningH1242.
And she layH7901 at his feetH4772 until the morningH1242: and she rose upH6965 beforeH2958 oneH376 could knowH5234 anotherH7453. And he saidH559, Let it not be knownH3045 that a womanH802 cameH935 into the floorH1637.
Also he saidH559, BringH3051 the vailH4304 that thou hast upon thee, and holdH270 it. And when she heldH270 it, he measuredH4058 sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184, and laidH7896 it on her: and she wentH935 into the cityH5892. {vail: or, sheet, or, apron}
And when she cameH935 to her mother in lawH2545, she saidH559, Who art thou, my daughterH1323? And she toldH5046 her all that the manH376 had doneH6213 to her.
And she saidH559, These sixH8337 measures of barleyH8184 gaveH5414 he me; for he saidH559 to me, GoH935 not emptyH7387 unto thy mother in lawH2545.
Then saidH559 she, Sit stillH3427, my daughterH1323, until thou knowH3045 how the matterH1697 will fallH5307: for the manH376 will not be in restH8252, untilH518 he have finishedH3615 the thingH1697 this dayH3117.

And he tookH5375 and sent messesH4864 unto them from before himH6440: but Benjamin'sH1144 messH4864 was fiveH2568 timesH3027 so much asH7235 any of theirs. And they drankH8354, and were merryH7937 with him. {were…: Heb. drank largely}
And it came to pass, when their heartsH3820 were merryH2896, that they saidH559, CallH7121 for SamsonH8123, that he may make us sportH7832. And they calledH7121 for SamsonH8123 out of the prisonH631 houseH1004; and he made themH6440 sportH6711: and they setH5975 him between the pillarsH5982. {them: Heb. before them}
And they sat downH3427, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162: for the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1 had saidH559 unto the manH376, Be contentH2974, I pray thee, and tarry all nightH3885, and let thine heartH3820 be merryH3190.
And when the manH376 rose upH6965 to departH3212, he, and his concubineH6370, and his servantH5288, his father in lawH2859, the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 unto him, Behold, now the dayH3117 drawethH7503 toward eveningH6150, I pray you tarry all nightH3885: behold, the dayH3117 groweth to an endH2583, lodgeH3885 here, that thine heartH3824 may be merryH3190; and to morrowH4279 get you earlyH7925 on your wayH1870, that thou mayest goH1980 homeH168. {draweth: Heb. is weak} {the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day} {home: Heb. to thy tent}
Now as they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, behold, the menH582 of the cityH5892, certainH582 sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437, and beatH1849 at the doorH1817, and spakeH559 to the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thine houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH1121+H2428. {have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
On the seventhH7637 dayH3117, when the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 was merryH2896 with wineH3196, he commandedH559 MehumanH4104, BizthaH968, HarbonaH2726, BigthaH903, and AbagthaH5, ZetharH2242, and CarcasH3752, the sevenH7651 chamberlainsH5631 that servedH8334 in the presenceH6440 of AhasuerusH325 the kingH4428, {chamberlains: or, eunuchs}
And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670, and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582 man'sH582 heartH3824. {oil…: Heb. to make his face shine with oil, or, more than oil}
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
I knowH3045 that there is no goodH2896 in them, but for a man to rejoiceH8055, and to doH6213 goodH2896 in his lifeH2416.
And also that every manH120 should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and enjoyH7200 the goodH2896 of all his labourH5999, it is the giftH4991 of GodH430.
Then I commendedH7623 mirthH8057, because a manH120 hath no better thingH2896 under the sunH8121, than to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to be merryH8055: for that shall abideH3867 with him of his labourH5999 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, which GodH430 givethH5414 him under the sunH8121.
Go thy wayH3212, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with joyH8057, and drinkH8354 thy wineH3196 with a merryH2896 heartH3820; for GodH430 nowH3528 acceptethH7521 thy worksH4639.
A feastH3899 is madeH6213 for laughterH7814, and wineH3196 maketh merryH8055+H2416: but moneyH3701 answerethH6030 all things. {maketh…: Heb. maketh glad the life}
