Ruth 3 — Context

11

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you require: for all the city of my people does know that you are a virtuous woman.

12

And now it is true that I am your near kinsman: however, there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13

Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, then will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as the LORD lives: lie down until the morning. ¶

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 a woman came into the floor.

15

Also he said, Bring the veil that you have on you, 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.

16

And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
