Ruth 3:10-18

Ruth 3:10-18

10
He said, “Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11
Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
12
Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13
Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for 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 for you, then I will do the part of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”
14
She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15
He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and he went into the city.
16
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done to her.
17
She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”
18
Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day.”
