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.

Then she fellH5307 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776, and saidH559 unto him, Why have I foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869, that thou shouldest take knowledgeH5234 of me, seeing I am a strangerH5237?
And BoazH1162 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto her, It hath fullyH5046 been shewedH5046 me, all that thou hast doneH6213 unto thy mother in lawH2545 sinceH310 the deathH4194 of thine husbandH376: and how thou hast leftH5800 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, and the landH776 of thy nativityH4138, and art comeH3212 unto a peopleH5971 which thou knewestH3045 not heretoforeH8543+H8032.
The LORDH3068 recompenseH7999 thy workH6467, and a fullH8003 rewardH4909 be given thee of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, under whose wingsH3671 thou art comeH935 to trustH2620.
Then she saidH559, Let me findH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113; for that thou hast comfortedH5162 me, and for that thou hast spokenH1696 friendlyH3820 unto thine handmaidH8198, though I be not like unto oneH259 of thine handmaidensH8198. {Let me…: or, I find} {friendly: Heb. to the heart}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
And now it is trueH551 that I am thy near kinsmanH1350: howbeit there isH3426 a kinsmanH1350 nearerH7138 than I.
And she aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, Behold, let thine handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her daughter in lawH3618, BlessedH1288 be he of the LORDH3068, who hath not left offH5800 his kindnessH2617 to the livingH2416 and to the deadH4191. And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her, The manH376 is near of kinH7138 unto us, one of our next kinsmenH1350. {one of…: or, one that hath right to redeem}
