1 Then Naomi H5281 her mother H2545 - in - law said H559 W-VQY3FS unto her , My daughter H1323 , shall I not H3808 I-NADV seek H1245 rest H4494 NMS for thee , that H834 RPRO it may be well H3190 VQY3MS with thee ?
2 And now H6258 W-ADV is not H3808 I-NADV Boaz H1162 of our kindred H4130 , with H854 PREP whose H834 RPRO maidens H5291 thou wast H1961 ? Behold H2009 IJEC , he H1931 PPRO-3MS winnoweth H2219 barley H8184 tonight H3915 in the threshingfloor H1637 .
3 Wash H7364 thyself therefore , and anoint H5480 thee , and put H7760 thy raiment H8071 upon H5921 thee , and get thee down H3381 to the floor H1637 : but make not thyself known H3045 unto the man H376 LD-NMS , until H5704 PREP he shall have done H3615 eating H398 L-VQFC and drinking H8354 .
4 And it shall be H1961 W-VQI3MS , when he lieth down H7901 , that thou shalt mark H3045 the place H4725 D-NMS where H834 RPRO he shall lie H7901 VQY3MS , and thou shalt go in H935 , and uncover H1540 his feet H4772 , and lay thee down H7901 ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS will tell H5046 VHY3MS thee what H834 RPRO thou shalt do H6213 .
5 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , All H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO thou sayest H559 unto H413 PREP-3FS me I will do H6213 .
6 And she went down H3381 unto the floor H1637 , and did H6213 according to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO her mother H2545 - in - law bade H6680 her .
7 And when Boaz H1162 had eaten H398 and drunk H8354 W-VQY3MS , and his heart H3820 CMS-3MS was merry H3190 , he went H935 W-VQY3MS to lie down H7901 at the end H7097 of the heap of corn H6194 : and she came H935 W-VQY3FS softly H3909 , and uncovered H1540 his feet H4772 , and laid her down H7901 .
8 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at midnight H2677 , that the man H376 D-NMS was afraid H2729 , and turned himself H3943 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , a woman H802 NFS lay H7901 at his feet H4772 .
9 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO art thou H859 ? And she answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am Ruth H7327 thine handmaid H519 : spread H6566 W-VQQ2MS therefore thy skirt H3671 over H5921 PREP thine handmaid H519 ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art a near kinsman H1350 .
10 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Blessed H1288 be thou H859 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS , my daughter H1323 : for thou hast showed more H3190 kindness H2617 in the latter end H314 than H4480 PREP at the beginning H7223 , inasmuch as thou followedst H1980 not H1115 L-NPAR young men H970 , whether H518 PART poor H1800 or H518 PART rich H6223 .
11 And now H6258 W-ADV , my daughter H1323 , fear H3372 not H408 NPAR ; I will do H6213 VQY1MS to thee all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO thou requirest H559 : for H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the city H8179 NMS of my people H5971 doth know H3045 VQPMS that H3588 CONJ thou art a virtuous H2428 NMS woman H802 CFS .
12 And now H6258 W-ADV it is true H551 CONJ that I H595 PPRO-1MS am thy near kinsman H1350 : howbeit H1571 W-CONJ there is H3426 PART a kinsman H1350 nearer H7138 AMS than H4480 PREP-1MS I .
13 Tarry H3885 this night H3915 D-AMS , and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS in the morning H1242 , that if H518 PART he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman H1350 , well H2896 AMS ; let him do the kinsman\'s part H1350 : but if H518 PART he will H2654 VQY3MS not H3808 NADV do the part of a kinsman H1350 to thee , then will I H595 PPRO-1MS do the part of a kinsman H1350 to thee , as the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS : lie down H7901 until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 .
14 And she lay H7901 at his feet H4772 until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 : and she rose up H6965 before H2958 one H376 NMS could know H5234 VHY3MS another H7453 NMS-3MS . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let it not H408 NPAR be known H3045 that H3588 CONJ a woman H802 D-NFS came H935 into the floor H1637 .
15 Also he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Bring H3051 the veil H4304 that H834 RPRO thou hast upon H5921 thee , and hold H270 it . And when she held H270 it , he measured H4058 six H8337 RFS measures of barley H8184 , and laid H7896 it on H5921 PREP-3FS her : and she went into H935 W-VQY3MS the city H5892 D-GFS .
16 And when she came H935 W-VQY3FS to H413 PREP her mother H2545 - in - law , she said H559 W-VQY3FS , Who H4310 IPRO art thou H859 , my daughter H1323 ? And she told H5046 her all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO the man H376 had done H6213 to her .
17 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , These H428 D-DPRO-3MP six H8337 RFS measures of barley H8184 gave H5414 VQQ3MS he me ; for H3588 CONJ he said H559 VQQ3MS to H413 PREP me , Go H935 not H408 NPAR empty H7387 ADV unto H413 PREP thy mother H2545 - in - law .
18 Then said H559 W-VQY3FS she , Sit still H3427 , my daughter H1323 , until H5704 PREP thou know H3045 how H349 the matter H1697 VQPMS will fall H5307 VQY3MS : for H3588 CONJ the man H376 D-NMS will not H3808 NADV be in rest H8252 , until H518 PART he have finished H3615 the thing H1697 D-NMS this day H3117 D-NMS .
