Ruth:3-4




jub@Ruth:3:1 @ Then Naomi, her mother-in-law, said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee that it may be well with thee?

jub@Ruth:3:2 @ And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.

jub@Ruth:3:3 @ Therefore, thou shalt wash thyself and anoint thyself and put thy raiment upon thee and go down to the threshingfloor, [but] do not make thyself known unto the man until he shall have finished eating and drinking.

jub@Ruth:3:4 @ And it shall be when he lies down that thou shalt perceive the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in and uncover his feet and lie down [there], and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

jub@Ruth:3:5 @ And she said unto her, All that thou dost command me I will do.

jub@Ruth:3:6 @ And she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.

jub@Ruth: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, and she came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down.

jub@Ruth:3:8 @ And it came to pass at midnight that the man was startled and took hold, and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

jub@Ruth:3:9 @ Then he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Ruth, thy handmaid; spread therefore the edge [of thy mantle] over thy handmaid; for thou [art a] redeemer.

jub@Ruth:3:10 @ And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter, [for] thou hast shown more mercy in the end than at the first, not going after the young men, whether poor or rich.

jub@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do unto thee all that thou hast said, for all the city of my people know that thou [art] a valiant woman.

jub@Ruth:3:12 @ And now it is true that I [am thy] redeemer; however, there is [another] redeemer nearer than I ([in kinship]).

jub@Ruth:3:13 @ Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning [that] if he will redeem thee, well, let him redeem thee, but if he does not wish to redeem, then I will redeem thee, [as] the LORD lives; lie down until the morning.

jub@Ruth: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 the woman has come to the threshing floor.

jub@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, Bring the veil 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.

jub@Ruth:3:16 @ And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, What now, my daughter? And she told her all that had happened to her with the man.

jub@Ruth:3:17 @ And she said, He gave me these six [measures] of barley, saying, Do not go empty unto thy mother-in-law.

jub@Ruth:3:18 @ Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou shall know how the matter will fall, for that man will not rest until he has concluded the thing today.:

jub@Ruth:4:1 @ And Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and, behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz spoke came by unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! Come here and sit down. And he came and sat down.

jub@Ruth:4:2 @ Then he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.

jub@Ruth:4:3 @ And he said unto the redeemer, Naomi, that is come again out of the field of Moab, sold a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's,

jub@Ruth:4:4 @ and I decided to cause thee to know this and tell thee to take [it] before the inhabitants and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem [it], but if thou wilt not redeem [it], [then] tell me that I may know, for [there is] no one to redeem [it] besides thee, and I after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].

jub@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz replied, The day that thou dost receive the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must also receive Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

jub@Ruth:4:6 @ And the redeemer said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself lest I ruin my own inheritance; redeem thou; I cede my right to you, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].

jub@Ruth:4:7 @ Now for a long time in Israel there had been this custom concerning redemption or contracts, that for the confirmation of all matters: one plucked off his shoe and gave [it] to his neighbour, and this [was] a testimony in Israel.

jub@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore, [the former owner of] the right of redemption said unto Boaz, Buy [it] thyself. So he drew off his shoe.

jub@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said unto the elders and [unto] all the people, Ye [are] witnesses this day that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

jub@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, I also take Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his place. Ye [shall be] witnesses of this today.

jub@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people that [were] in the gate and the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, who built the house of Israel; and be thou a man of valour in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem;

jub@Ruth:4:12 @ let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

jub@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife, and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

jub@Ruth:4:14 @ And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, who has not left thee this day without a redeemer, whose name shall be famous in Israel.

jub@Ruth:4:15 @ And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy] soul and a sustainer in thy old age, for thy daughter-in-law, whom thou doth love, who is better to thee than seven sons, has given birth.

jub@Ruth:4:16 @ And Naomi took the child and laid it in her bosom and was his nurse.

jub@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women, her neighbours, named him, saying, There is a son born to Naomi, and they called his name Obed. This [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David.

jub@Ruth:4:18 @ Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

jub@Ruth:4:19 @ and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

jub@Ruth:4:20 @ and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

jub@Ruth:4:21 @ and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

jub@Ruth:4:22 @ and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.:

jub@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; Booz begat Obed of Ruth; Obed begat Jesse;
