Ruth 3

1 By Naomi's instruction, 5 Ruth lieth at Boaz's feet. 8 Boaz acknowledgeth the right of a kinsman. 14 He sendeth her away with six measures of barley.

 3:1 ¶ Then Naomi 5281 her mother in law 2545 said 559 z8799 vnto her, My daughter, 1323 shal I not x3808 seeke 1245 z8762 rest 4494 for thee, that x834 it may be well 3190 z8799 with thee?

 3:2 And now x6258 is not x3808 Boaz 1162 of our kinred, 4130 with x854 whose x834 maidens 5291 thou wast? x1961 Behold, x2009 he x1931 winnoweth 2219 z8802 barley 8184 to night 3915 in x853 the threshing floore. 1637

 3:3 Wash 7364 z8804 thy selfe therefore, and annoint 5480 z8804 thee, and put 7760 z8804 thy raiment 8071 vpon x5921 thee, and get thee downe 3381 z8804 to the floore: 1637 [but] make not thy selfe knowen 3045 z8735 x408 vnto the man, 376 vntill x5704 hee shall haue done 3615 z8763 eating 398 z8800 and drinking. 8354 z8800

 3:4 And it shall be x1961 when hee lieth downe, 7901 z8800 that thou shalt marke 3045 z8804 x853 the place 4725 where x834 x8033 hee shall lie, 7901 z8799 and thou shalt goe in, 935 z8804 and vncouer 1540 z8765 his feete, 4772 and lay thee downe, 7901 z8804 and he x1931 will tell 5046 z8686 thee x853 what x834 thou shalt doe. 6213 z8799

 3:5 And shee said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, All x3605 that x834 thou sayest 559 z8799 vnto x413 me, I will doe. 6213 z8799

 3:6 ¶ And she went downe 3381 z8799 vnto the floore, 1637 and did 6213 z8799 according to all x3605 that x834 her mother in law 2545 bade 6680 z8765 her.

 3:7 And when Boaz 1162 had eaten 398 z8799 and drunke, 8354 z8799 and his heart 3820 was merrie, 3190 z8799 hee went 935 z8799 to lie downe 7901 z8800 at the ende 7097 of the heape of corne: 6194 and she came 935 z8799 softly, 3909 and vncouered 1540 z8762 his feet, 4772 and laid her downe. 7901 z8799

 3:8 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 at midnight, 2677 3915 that the man 376 was afraid, 2729 z8799 and turned y3943 z8735 himselfe: x3943 and behold, x2009 a woman 802 lay 7901 z8802 at his feete. 4772

 3:9 And hee said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 [art] thou? x859 And she answered, 559 z8799 I x595 [am] Ruth 7327 thine handmaid: 519 spread 6566 z8804 therefore thy skirt 3671 ouer x5921 thine handmaid, 519 for x3588 thou x859 [art] a neare kinseman. 1350 z8802

 3:10 And hee said, 559 z8799 Blessed 1288 z8803 be thou x859 of the LORD, 3068 my daughter: 1323 [for] thou hast shewed y3190 z8689 more x3190 kindnesse 2617 in the latter ende, 314 then x4480 at the beginning, 7223 in as much as thou followedst 310 y3212 z8800 x1980 not 1115 yong men, 970 whether x518 poore, 1800 or x518 rich. 6223

 3:11 And now x6258 my daughter, 1323 feare 3372 z8799 not, x408 I will doe 6213 z8799 to thee all x3605 that x834 thou requirest: 559 z8799 for x3588 all x3605 the citie 8179 of my people 5971 doeth know, 3045 z8802 that x3588 thou art a vertuous 2428 woman. 802

 3:12 And now x6258 x3588 it is true, 551 that x3588 x518 I x595 am [thy] neare kinseman: 1350 z8802 howbeit x1571 there is 3426 a kinseman 1350 z8802 nearer 7138 then x4480 I.

 3:13 Tary 3885 z8798 this night, 3915 and it shall be x1961 in the morning, 1242 that if x518 hee will performe vnto thee the part of a kinseman, 1350 z8799 well, 2896 let him doe the kinsemans part; 1350 z8799 but if x518 hee will 2654 z8799 not x3808 doe the part of a kinseman 1350 z8800 to thee, then will I x595 doe the part of a kinseman 1350 z8804 to thee, as the LORD 3068 liueth: 2416 lie downe 7901 z8798 vntill x5704 the morning. 1242

 3:14 ¶ And shee lay 7901 z8799 at his feete 4772 vntill x5704 the morning: 1242 and she rose vp 6965 z8799 before 2958 one 376 could know 5234 z8686 x853 another. 7453 And he said, 559 z8799 Let it not x408 be knowen, 3045 z8735 that x3588 a woman 802 came 935 z8804 into the floore. 1637

 3:15 Also he said, 559 z8799 Bring 3051 z8798 the vaile 4304 that x834 thou hast vpon x5921 thee, and holde 270 z8798 it. And when she helde 270 z8799 it, he measured 4058 z8799 sixe 8337 [measures] of barley, 8184 and laide 7896 z8799 it on x5921 her: and he went y935 z8799 into x935 the citie. 5892

 3:16 And when shee came 935 z8799 to x413 her mother in law, 2545 she said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 [art] thou, x859 my daughter? 1323 and she tolde 5046 z8686 her x853 all x3605 that x834 the man 376 had done 6213 z8804 to her.

 3:17 And she said, 559 z8799 These x428 sixe 8337 [measures] of barley 8184 gaue 5414 z8804 he me, for x3588 he said 559 z8804 to x413 me, Go 935 z8799 not x408 emptie 7387 vnto x413 thy mother in law. 2545

 3:18 Then said 559 z8799 she, Sit still, 3427 z8798 my daughter, 1323 vntill x5704 x834 thou know 3045 z8799 how x349 the matter 1697 will fall: 5307 z8799 for x3588 the man 376 will not x3808 be in rest, 8252 z8799 vntil 518 x3588 he haue finished 3615 z8765 the thing 1697 this day. 3117
