RF RUT 3:1 Naomi Determines to marry Ruth to Boaz.
Then her mother-in-law Naomi said to her,—"My girl, ought I not to seek a resting place for you, that may benefit you?
RF RUT 3:2 So, now, is there not Boaz, our relative, with whose girls you have been?—Look,—he is winnowing the barley at his barn tonight,
RF RUT 3:3 therefore bathe yourself, and tidy, and put your cloak on you, and go down to the barn. But do not let the man know of you until he is full of victuals and drink.
RF RUT 3:4 But when he lies down, then ascertain the apartment where he reclines, and go and uncover his feet and lie down,—when he will tell you what to do."
RF RUT 3:5 And she answered, "All that you have said I will do."
RF RUT 3:6 So she went down to the barn, and did all that her mother-in-law ordered.
RF RUT 3:7 And Boaz ate and drank and rejoiced his heart;—then went to lie down in the lodge of the granary, when she came quietly and uncovered his feet and lay down.
RF RUT 3:8 And it happened at midnight, that the man was startled, and turned over, and found a woman lying beside him!—
RF RUT 3:9 and asked, "Who are you?" When she replied, "I am Ruth, your servant. Therefore spread your cloak over your servant, for you are the Restorer!"1
RF RUT 3:10 And he replied, "The EVER-LIVING bless you, my girl!—You have given more kindness at the last than at the first! For you have not gone after young fellows, whether poor or rich!
RF RUT 3:11 But now, my girl, do not be afraid; all that you have asked me, I will do for you; for all the Circle of my people know you are a virtuous woman.
RF RUT 3:12 But now for the fact;—I am a near relative myself; yet there is a nearer Redemptor than I.—
RF RUT 3:13 Stay here to-night, and when the morning comes, if he will redeem for you, good. But if he is not pleased to redeem your property, then I myself will redeem it for you. Lie with me till morning."
RF RUT 3:14 She consequently lay along with him until morning, but got up before one could distinguish his companion. And he said to her, "Do not let it be known that a woman came to the barn."
RF RUT 3:15 He also said, "Bring the wrapper that was on you, and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six measures, and lifted it on to her, and she went to the village,
RF RUT 3:16 and came to her mother-in-law, who asked her "What do you bring, my girl?" When she reported all that the man did to her,
RF RUT 3:17 and said, "He gave me these six measures of barley, for," he said, "you shall not go empty to your mother-in-law."
RF RUT 3:18 And she replied, "Be quiet, my girl; wait until you know what will happen;—for the man will not rest to-day till he has finished the affair."

1. NOTE: Ch. 3, V. 9. "THE RESTORER," the next of kin to her husband, who by Hebrew Law was obliged to marry her and redeem her late husband's estate if mortgaged, as this seems to have been.—F.F.
