Ru 3:8: And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Ru 3:9: And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
Ru 3:10: And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
Ru 3:11: 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 a virtuous woman.
Ru 3:12: And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Ru 3:13: Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform 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, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Ru 3:14: And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
Ru 3:15: Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
Ru 3:16: And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Ru 3:17: And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
Ru 3:18: Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
