CHAP. III.
1 Naomi giueth Ruth counsell 3 She sleepeth at Boaz feete.
12 He acknowledgeth himselfe to be her kinsman.
1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto
her, My daughter, shall not I seeke note rest
for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with
whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth
barly to night in the note floore.
3 Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee,
and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee
downe to the floore: let not the note man know of
thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place
where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer
the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he
shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest
me, I will doe.
6 ¶2; So she went downe vnto the floore, and
did according to all that her mother in lawe
bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken,
and note cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at
the end of the heape of corne, & she came softly,
and vncouered the place of his feet, & lay downe.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide note and
caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
9 Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered,
I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore
the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd:
for thou art the kinsman.
10 Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord,
my daughter: thou hast note shewed more goodnes
in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as
much as thou followedst not yong men, were
they poore or rich.
11 And now, my daughter, feare not: I will
doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie
of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a
vertuous woman.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman,
howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
13 Tarie to night, and when morning is come,
if he note will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee,
well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he
will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the
duetie of a kinsman, as the Lorde liueth: sleepe
vntill the morning.
14 ¶2; And she lay at his feete vntill the morning:
and she arose before one could know another:
for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman
came into the floore.
15 Also he sayd, Bring the note sheete that thou
hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde
it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde
them on her, and she went into the citie.
16 And when she came to her mother in law,
she sayd, note Who art thou, my daughter? And she
tolde her all that the man had done to her,
17 And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue
he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come
emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
18 Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill
Boaz marieth her.
thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man
wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter
this same day.
