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 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}
And he saidH559, They were my brethrenH251, even the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2421, I would not slayH2026 you.
Then saidH559 BoazH1162, What dayH3117 thou buyestH7069 the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, thou must buyH7069 it also of RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159.
And thou shalt swearH7650, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, in truthH571, in judgmentH4941, and in righteousnessH6666; and the nationsH1471 shall blessH1288 themselves in him, and in him shall they gloryH1984.
If brethrenH251 dwellH3427 togetherH3162, and oneH259 of them dieH4191, and have no childH1121, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191 shall not marry withoutH2351 unto a strangerH376+H2114: her husband's brotherH2993 shall go inH935 unto her, and takeH3947 her to him to wifeH802, and perform the duty of an husband's brotherH2992 unto her. {her husband's…: or, her next kinsman}
And it shall be, that the firstbornH1060 which she bearethH3205 shall succeedH6965 in the nameH8034 of his brotherH251 which is deadH4191, that his nameH8034 be not put outH4229 of IsraelH3478.
And if the manH376 likeH2654 not to takeH3947 his brother's wifeH2994, then let his brother's wifeH2994 go upH5927 to the gateH8179 unto the eldersH2205, and sayH559, My husband's brotherH2993 refusethH3985 to raise upH6965 unto his brotherH251 a nameH8034 in IsraelH3478, he willH14 not perform the duty of my husband's brotherH2992. {brother's: or, next kinsman's}
Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall callH7121 him, and speakH1696 unto him: and if he standH5975 to it, and sayH559, I likeH2654 not to takeH3947 her;
Then shall his brother's wifeH2994 comeH5066 unto him in the presenceH5869 of the eldersH2205, and looseH2502 his shoeH5275 from off his footH7272, and spitH3417 in his faceH6440, and shall answerH6030 and sayH559, So shall it be doneH6213 unto that manH376 that will not build upH1129 his brother'sH251 houseH1004.
MoreoverG1161 IG1473 callG1941 GodG2316 for a recordG3144 uponG1909 myG1699 soulG5590, thatG3754 to spareG5339 youG5216 I cameG2064 not as yetG3765 untoG1519 CorinthG2882.
SayingG3004, MasterG1320, MosesG3475 saidG2036, IfG1437 a manG5100 dieG599, havingG2192 noG3361 childrenG5043, hisG846 brotherG80 shall marryG1918 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 raise upG450 seedG4690 unto hisG846 brotherG80.
NowG1161 there wereG2258 withG3844 usG2254 sevenG2033 brethrenG80: andG2532 the firstG4413, when he had married a wifeG1060, deceasedG5053, andG2532, havingG2192 noG3361 issueG4690, leftG863 hisG846 wifeG1135 unto hisG846 brotherG80:
LikewiseG3668 the secondG1208 alsoG2532, andG2532 the thirdG5154, untoG2193 the seventhG2033. {seventh: Gr. seven}
AndG1161 lastG5305 of allG3956 the womanG1135 diedG599 alsoG2532.
