Chapter 3 Then Naomi, her mother-in-law,
said unto her, My daughter, shall I not

00:06.080 --> 00:09.120
seek rest for thee, that it may be well
with thee?

00:09.560 --> 00:14.760
And now, is not Boaz of our kindred,
with whose maidens thou wast?

00:15.880 --> 00:19.420
Behold, he went with barley to-night in
the threshing-floor.

00:20.260 --> 00:24.800
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee,
and put thy raiment upon thee,

00:24.800 --> 00:27.100
and get thee down to the floor.

00:27.760 --> 00:33.400
But make not thyself known unto the man,
until he shall have done eating and

00:33.400 --> 00:33.740
drinking.

00:34.580 --> 00:39.960
And it shall be, when he lieth down,
that thou shalt mark the place where he

00:39.960 --> 00:40.520
shall lie.

00:41.120 --> 00:47.380
And thou shalt go in, and uncover his
feet, and lay thee down, and he will tell

00:47.380 --> 00:48.620
thee what thou shalt do.

00:48.980 --> 00:52.820
And she said unto her, All that thou
sayest unto me, I will do.

00:52.820 --> 00:56.100
And she went down unto the floor,
and did according to all that her

00:56.100 --> 00:57.000
mother-in-law bade her.

00:57.600 --> 01:01.360
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk,
and his heart was merry, he went to lie

01:01.360 --> 01:02.860
down at the end of the heap of corn.

01:03.260 --> 01:06.840
And she came softly, and uncovered his
feet, and laid her down.

01:07.460 --> 01:10.880
And it came to pass at midnight,
that the man was afraid, and turned

01:10.880 --> 01:11.280
himself.

01:11.680 --> 01:13.520
And behold, a woman lay at his feet.

01:13.980 --> 01:15.400
And he said, Who art thou?

01:15.500 --> 01:17.920
And she answered, I am Ruth, thine
handmaid.

01:18.220 --> 01:21.220
Spread therefore thy skirt over,
thine handmaid, for thou art a near

01:21.220 --> 01:21.680
kinsman.

01:21.680 --> 01:26.940
And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord,
my daughter, for thou hast showed more

01:26.940 --> 01:31.680
kindness in the latter end than at the
beginning, inasmuch as thou followest not

01:31.680 --> 01:33.640
young men, whether poor or rich.

01:34.180 --> 01:36.100
And now, my daughter, fear not.

01:36.520 --> 01:41.940
I will do to thee all that thou requirest,
for all the city of my people doth know

01:41.940 --> 01:43.700
that thou art a virtuous woman.

01:44.420 --> 01:49.200
And now it is true that I am thy near
kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman nearer

01:49.200 --> 01:49.720
than I.

01:50.460 --> 01:54.820
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the
morning that if he will perform unto thee

01:54.820 --> 01:58.500
the part of a kinsman well, let him do the
kinsman's part.

01:59.040 --> 02:03.300
But if he will not do the part of a
kinsman to thee, then will I do the part

02:03.300 --> 02:07.680
of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth,
lie down until the morning.

02:08.200 --> 02:11.720
And she lay at his feet until the morning,
and she rose up before one could know

02:11.720 --> 02:12.060
another.

02:12.500 --> 02:16.120
And he said, Let it not be known that a
woman came into the floor.

02:16.340 --> 02:20.160
Also he said, Bring the veil that thou
hast upon thee, and hold it.

02:20.300 --> 02:24.000
And when she held it, he measured six
measures of barley, and laid it on her,

02:24.300 --> 02:25.440
and she went into the city.

02:26.080 --> 02:29.720
And when she came to her mother-in-law,
she said, Who art thou, my daughter?

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
And she told her all that the man had done
to her.

02:32.320 --> 02:36.320
And she said, These six measures of barley
gave he me, for he said to me,

02:36.880 --> 02:38.580
Go not empty unto thy mother-in-law.

02:38.880 --> 02:43.580
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter,
until thou know how the matter will fall.

02:43.580 --> 02:48.660
For the man will not be in rest until he
have finished the thing this day.
