rsv Ruth:3:9-13
rsv@Ruth:3:9 @ He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, your maidservant; spread your skirt over your maidservant, for you are next of kin."
rsv@Ruth:3:10 @ And he said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter; you have made this last kindness greater than the first, in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.
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."
