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

⁶ She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her. ⁷ When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

⁸ It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and behold, a woman lay at his feet. ⁹ He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."

¹⁰ He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich. ¹¹ Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman. ¹² Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am. ¹³ Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning."
