3:1 Then
Naomi
her
mother-in-law
said
to
her,
"My
daughter,
should
I
not
seek
rest
for
you,
that
it
may
be
well
with
you
3:2 Is
not
Boaz
our
relative,
with
whose
young
women
you
were
See,
he
is
winnowing
barley
tonight
at
the
threshing
floor.
3:3 Wash
therefore
and
anoint
yourself,
and
put
on
your
cloak
and
go
down
to
the
threshing
floor,
but
do
not
make
yourself
known
to
the
man
until
he
has
finished
eating
and
drinking.
3:4 But
when
he
lies
down,
observe
the
place
where
he
lies.
Then
go
and
uncover
his
feet
and
lie
down,
and
he
will
tell
you
what
to
do."
3:5 And
she
replied,
"All
that
you
say
I
will
do."
3:6 So
she
went
down
to
the
threshing
floor
and
did
just
as
her
mother-in-law
had
commanded
her.
3:7 And
when
Boaz
had
eaten
and
drunk,
and
his
heart
was
merry,
he
went
to
lie
down
at
the
end
of
the
heap
of
grain.
Then
she
came
softly
and
uncovered
his
feet
and
lay
down.
3:8 At
midnight
the
man
was
startled
and
turned
over,
and
behold,
a
woman
lay
at
his
feet!
3:9 He
said,
"Who
are
you"
And
she
answered,
"I
am
Ruth,
your
servant.
Spread
your
wings
over
your
servant,
for
you
are
a
redeemer."
3:10 And
he
said,
"May
you
be
blessed
by
the
LORD,
my
daughter.
You
have
made
this
last
kindness
greater
than
the
first
in
that
you
have
not
gone
after
young
men,
whether
poor
or
rich.
3:11 And
now,
my
daughter,
do
not
fear.
I
will
do
for
you
all
that
you
ask,
for
all
my
fellow
townsmen
know
that
you
are
a
worthy
woman.
3:12 And
now
it
is
true
that
I
am
a
redeemer.
Yet
there
is
a
redeemer
nearer
than
I.
3:13 Remain
tonight,
and
in
the
morning,
if
he
will
redeem
you,
good;
let
him
do
it.
But
if
he
is
not
willing
to
redeem
you,
then,
as
the
LORD
lives,
I
will
redeem
you.
Lie
down
until
the
morning."
3:14 So
she
lay
at
his
feet
until
the
morning,
but
arose
before
one
could
recognize
another.
And
he
said,
"Let
it
not
be
known
that
the
woman
came
to
the
threshing
floor."
3:15 And
he
said,
"Bring
the
garment
you
are
wearing
and
hold
it
out."
So
she
held
it,
and
he
measured
out
six
measures
of
barley
and
put
it
on
her.
Then
she
went
into
the
city.
3:16 And
when
she
came
to
her
mother-in-law,
she
said,
"How
did
you
fare,
my
daughter"
Then
she
told
her
all
that
the
man
had
done
for
her,
3:17 saying,
"These
six
measures
of
barley
he
gave
to
me,
for
he
said
to
me,
'You
must
not
go
back
empty-handed
to
your
mother-in-law.'"
3:18 She
replied,
"Wait,
my
daughter,
until
you
learn
how
the
matter
turns
out,
for
the
man
will
not
rest
but
will
settle
the
matter
today."
