Ruth:3:11-18
rsv@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, do not fear, I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of worth.
rsv@Ruth:3:12 @ And now it is true that I am a near kinsman, yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.
rsv@Ruth:3:13 @ Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will do the part of the next of kin for you, well; let him do it; but if he is not willing to do the part of the next of kin for you, then, as the LORD lives, I will do the part of the next of kin for you. Lie down until the morning."
rsv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."
rsv@Ruth:3:15 @ And he said, "Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and laid it upon her; then she went into the city.
rsv@Ruth:3:16 @ And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did you fare, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her,
rsv@Ruth:3:17 @ saying, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, `You must not go back empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
rsv@Ruth:3:18 @ She replied, "Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest, but will settle the matter today."
