Ruth 3:6-13 - Ruth At The Feet Of Boaz

⁶ So she went down to the threshing-floor, - and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her. ⁷ And, when Boaz had eaten, and drunk, and his heart was glad, he went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn. Then came she in softly, and turned aside the covering of his feet, and laid her down.

⁸ And it came to pass, in the middle of the night, that the man started up, and turned, - and lo! a woman, lying at his feet. ⁹ And he said, Who art, thou? And she said, I, am Ruth, thy handmaid, spread, therefore, thy wing over thy handmaid, for, a kinsman, thou art.

¹⁰ And he said - Blessed, be thou of Yahweh, my daughter, for thou hast made thy last lovingkindness better than the first, - in not following after young men, whether poor, or rich. ¹¹ Now, therefore, my daughter, do not fear, whatsoever thou shalt say, I will do for thee, - for all the gate of my people doth know, that, a virtuous woman, thou art. ¹² And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I. ¹³ Tarry the night, and it shall be, in the morning, if he will act as kinsman to thee, well, let him so act, but, if he inclineth not to act as kinsman to thee, then will, I, so act to thee - by the life of Yahweh, - Lie still, until the morning.
