Seeker Overlay ON

* 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 ? * And now is not Boaz of our kindred mowda #ath #, with whose maidens thou wast ? Behold , he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor . * Wash thyself therefore , and anoint thee , and put thy raiment upon thee , and get thee down to the floor : but make not thyself known unto the man , until he shall have done eating and drinking . * And it shall be , when he lieth down , that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie , and thou shalt go in , and uncover his feet , and lay thee down ; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do . * And she said unto her , All that thou sayest unto me I will do . * And she went down unto the floor , and did according to all that her mother in law bade her . * And when Boaz had eaten and drunk , and his heart was merry , he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn : and she came softly , and uncovered his feet , and laid her down . * And it came to pass at midnight chetsiy #, that the man was afraid , and turned himself : and , behold , a woman lay at his feet . * 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 . * 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 ri #shown #, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men , whether poor or rich . * 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 . * And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman : howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I . * 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 kinsmans 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 . * 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 . * 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 s @#orah #, and laid it on her : and she went into the city . * 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 . * And she said , These six measures of barley gave he me ; for he said to me , Go not empty unto thy mother in law . * 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 .
