Ruth 3:6–13

6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and ehis heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and fshe came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. 8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and ||turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. 9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: gspread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art ||a near kinsman. 10 And he said, hBlessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than iat the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. 11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the †city of my people doth know that thou art ka virtuous woman. 12 And now it is true that I am thy lnear kinsman: howbeit mthere is a kinsman nearer than I. 13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will nperform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, oas the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.
