1: And saidH0559 NaomiH5281 her mother-in-lawH2545 My daughter,H1323 shall notH3808 I seekH1245 securityH4494 thatH0834 it may be wellH3190

2: NowH6258 [is he] notH3808 BoazH1162 our relative,H4130 with whoseH0834 you were?H1961 withH0854 young womenH5291 in fact,H2009 heH1931 is winnowingH2219 atH0853 the threshing floorH1637 barleyH8184 tonight.H3915

3: Therefore wash yourselfH7364 and anoint yourselfH5480 and put onH7760 your [best] garmentH8071 onH5921 and go downH3381 to the threshing floor-H1637 notH0408 [but] do make yourself knownH3045 to the man,H0376 untilH5704 he has finishedH3615 eatingH0398 and drinking.H8354

4: Then it shall be,H1961 when he lies down,H7901 that you shall noticeH3045 -H0853 the placeH4725 whereH0834 he lies,H7901 thereH8033 and you shall go in,H0935 and uncoverH1540 his feet,H4772 lie down-H7901 and heH1931 will tellH5046 -H0853 whatH0834 you should do.H6213

5: And she saidH0559 to herH0413 allH3605 thatH0834 you say to meH0559 -H0413 I will do.H6213

6: So she went downH3381 to the threshing floor,H1637 and didH6213 according to allH3605 thatH0834 instructed herH6680 her mother-in-law.H2545

7: And after had eatenH0398 BoazH1162 and drunk,H8354 and was cheerful,H3190 his heartH3820 and he wentH0935 to lie downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heap of grain-H6194 and she cameH0935 softly,H3909 and uncoveredH1540 his feet,H4772 and lay down.H7901

8: And it came to passH1961 atH2677 midnight,H3915 that was startled,H2729 the manH0376 and turned himself-H3943 and there,H2009 a womanH0802 was lyingH7901 at his feet.H4772

9: And he said,H0559 who [are]H4310 you?H0859 so she answered,H0559 I [am]H0595 RuthH7327 your maidservant.H0519 And take underH6566 your wingH3671 overH5921 your maidservant-H0519 forH3588 are a kinsman-redeemerH1350 you.H0859

10: And he said,H0559 BlessedH1288 [are] youH0859 of YahwehH3069 my daughter.H1323 For you have shown moreH3190 kindnessH2617 at the endH0314 thanH4480 at the beginning,H7223 in that notH1115 you did goH1980 afterH0310 young men,H0970 whetherH0518 poorH1800 orH0518 rich.H6223

11: Now,H6258 my daughter,H1323 not-H0408 do fearH3372 allH3605 thatH0834 you request,H0559 I will doH6213 forH3588 knowH3045 allH3605 of my townH8179 the peopleH5971 thatH3588 womanH0802 a virtuousH2428 you [are].H0859

12: AndH6258 nowH3588 it is trueH0551 thatH3588 -H0518 a kinsman-redeemer-H1350 I [am]H0595 and howeverH1571 there isH3426 a kinsman-redeemerH1350 nearerH7138 than I.H4480

13: StayH3885 this night,H3915 and it shall beH1961 in the morning,H1242 [that] ifH0518 he will perform the duty of a close relative for you,H1350 good-H2896 let him do it-H1350 but ifH0518 notH3808 he does wantH2654 to perform the duty for youH1350 then will perform the duty for youH1350 IH0595 [as] lives.H2416 YahwehH3068 Lie downH7901 untilH5704 morning.H1242

14: So she layH7901 at his feetH4772 untilH5704 morning-H1242 and she aroseH6965 beforeH2958 could recognizeH5234 oneH0376 -H0853 another.H7453 And he said,H0559 notH0408 do let it be knownH3045 thatH3588 cameH0935 the womanH0802 to the threshing floor.H1637

15: And he said,H0559 bringH3051 the shawlH4304 that [is]H0834 on youH5921 and holdH0270 and when she heldH0270 and he measuredH4058 sixH8337 [ephahs] of barley,H8184 and laid [it]H7896 on herH5921 and she wentH0935 into the city.H5892

16: So when she cameH0935 toH0413 her mother-in-law,H2545 and she said,H0559 who [are]H4310 you,H0859 my daughter?H1323 and she toldH5046 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 had doneH6213 the man.H0376

17: And she said,H0559 sixH8337 [ephahs] of barleyH8184 theseH0428 he gaveH5414 forH3588 he saidH0559 herH0413 to meH0413 not do goH0935 empty-handedH7387 toH0408 your mother-in-law.H2545

18: And she saidH0559 Sit still,H3427 my daughter,H1323 untilH5704 thatH0834 you knowH3045 howH0349 will turn out-H5307 the matterH1697 forH3588 notH3808 will rest,H8252 the manH0376 untilH3588 thatH0518 he has concludedH3615 the matterH1697 this day.H3117
