1. Then Naomi[H5281] her mother-in-law[H2545] said[H559] unto her, My daughter,[H1323] shall I not[H3808] seek[H1245] rest[H4494] for thee, that[H834] it may be well[H3190] with thee?
2. And now[H6258] is not[H3808] Boaz[H1162] of our kindred,[H4130] with[H854] whose[H834] maidens[H5291] thou wast?[H1961] Behold,[H2009] he[H1931] winnoweth[H2219] barley[H8184] tonight[H3915] in[H853] the threshingfloor.[H1637]
3. Wash[H7364] thyself therefore, and anoint[H5480] thee, and put[H7760] thy raiment[H8071] upon[H5921] thee, and get thee down[H3381] to the floor:[H1637] but make not thyself known[H3045] [H408] unto the man,[H376] until[H5704] he shall have done[H3615] eating[H398] and drinking.[H8354]
4. And it shall be,[H1961] when he lieth down,[H7901] that thou shalt mark[H3045] [H853] the place[H4725] where[H834] [H8033] he shall lie,[H7901] and thou shalt go in,[H935] and uncover[H1540] his feet,[H4772] and lay thee down;[H7901] and he[H1931] will tell[H5046] thee[H853] what[H834] thou shalt do.[H6213]
5. And she said[H559] unto[H413] her, All[H3605] that[H834] thou sayest[H559] unto[H413] me I will do.[H6213]
6. And she went down[H3381] unto the floor,[H1637] and did[H6213] according to all[H3605] that[H834] her mother-in-law[H2545] bade[H6680] her.
7. And when Boaz[H1162] had eaten[H398] and drunk,[H8354] and his heart[H3820] was merry,[H3190] he went[H935] to lie down[H7901] at the end[H7097] of the heap of corn:[H6194] and she came[H935] softly,[H3909] and uncovered[H1540] his feet,[H4772] and laid her down.[H7901]
8. And it came to pass[H1961] at midnight,[H2677] [H3915] that the man[H376] was afraid,[H2729] and turned himself:[H3943] and, behold,[H2009] a woman[H802] lay[H7901] at his feet.[H4772]
9. And he said,[H559] Who[H4310] art thou?[H859] And she answered,[H559] I[H595] am Ruth[H7327] thine handmaid:[H519] spread[H6566] therefore thy skirt[H3671] over[H5921] thine handmaid;[H519] for[H3588] thou[H859] art a near kinsman.[H1350]
10. And he said,[H559] Blessed[H1288] be thou[H859] of the LORD,[H3068] my daughter:[H1323] for thou hast showed more[H3190] kindness[H2617] in the latter end[H314] than[H4480] at the beginning,[H7223] inasmuch as thou followedst[H1980] [H310] not[H1115] young men,[H970] whether[H518] poor[H1800] or[H518] rich.[H6223]
11. And now,[H6258] my daughter,[H1323] fear[H3372] not;[H408] I will do[H6213] to thee all[H3605] that[H834] thou requirest:[H559] for[H3588] all[H3605] the city[H8179] of my people[H5971] doth know[H3045] that[H3588] thou art a virtuous[H2428] woman.[H802]
12. And now[H6258] [H3588] it is true[H551] that[H3588] [H518] I[H595] am thy near kinsman:[H1350] howbeit[H1571] there is[H3426] a kinsman[H1350] nearer[H7138] than[H4480] I.
13. Tarry[H3885] this night,[H3915] and it shall be[H1961] in the morning,[H1242] that if[H518] he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman,[H1350] well;[H2896] let him do the kinsman's part:[H1350] but if[H518] he will[H2654] not[H3808] do the part of a kinsman[H1350] to thee, then will I[H595] do the part of a kinsman[H1350] to thee, as the LORD[H3068] liveth:[H2416] lie down[H7901] until[H5704] the morning.[H1242]
14. And she lay[H7901] at his feet[H4772] until[H5704] the morning:[H1242] and she rose up[H6965] before[H2958] one[H376] could know[H5234] [H853] another.[H7453] And he said,[H559] Let it not[H408] be known[H3045] that[H3588] a woman[H802] came[H935] into the floor.[H1637]
15. Also he said,[H559] Bring[H3051] the veil[H4304] that[H834] thou hast upon[H5921] thee, and hold[H270] it. And when she held[H270] it, he measured[H4058] six[H8337] measures of barley,[H8184] and laid[H7896] it on[H5921] her: and she went into[H935] the city.[H5892]
16. And when she came[H935] to[H413] her mother-in-law,[H2545] she said,[H559] Who[H4310] art thou,[H859] my daughter?[H1323] And she told[H5046] her[H853] all[H3605] that[H834] the man[H376] had done[H6213] to her.
17. And she said,[H559] These[H428] six[H8337] measures of barley[H8184] gave[H5414] he me; for[H3588] he said[H559] to[H413] me, Go[H935] not[H408] empty[H7387] unto[H413] thy mother-in-law.[H2545]
18. Then said[H559] she, Sit still,[H3427] my daughter,[H1323] until[H5704] [H834] thou know[H3045] how[H349] the matter[H1697] will fall:[H5307] for[H3588] the man[H376] will not[H3808] be in rest,[H8252] until[H3588] [H518] he have finished[H3615] the thing[H1697] this day.[H3117]
