And she said to her, All that thou say I will do.

And he said, Who are thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid. Spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid, for thou are a near kinsman.

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

And he said, Blessed be thou of LORD, my daughter. Thou have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou did not follow young men, whether poor or rich.

And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon thee, and hold it. And she held it, and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her, and he went into the city.

And when Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lay down at the end of the heap of grain. And she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid down.

And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do to thee all that thou say, for all the city of my people knows that thou are a worthy woman.

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

And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens thou were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing-floor.

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

And she lay at his feet until the morning. And she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.

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

And she said, He gave me these six [measures] of barley, for he said, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
