Ruth 3:9-13 ▼

9 And he said, “Who are you?” And she said, “I am Ruth your maidservant. And you shall spread your wing over your maidservant, for you are a kinsman-redeemer.”

10 And he said, “Blessed are you to YHWH, my daughter. For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after the young men, whether poor or rich.

11 And now, my daughter, do not fear. All that you say, I will do for you, for all the gate of my people knows that you are a woman of virtue.

12 And now it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, But also there is a kinsman-redeemer nearer than I.

13 Lodge the night, and it shall be in the morning that if he does redeem you, good; let him redeem. And if he does not want to redeem you, then I will redeem you myself, as YHWH lives. Lie down until the morning.”
