The Book Of Ruth: verse by verse

[mohawk]

Rth 2:19 Naomi asked her, "Where did you gather all this grain today? Whose field have you been working in? May God bless the man who took an interest in you!" So Ruth told Naomi that she had been working in a field belonging to a man named Boaz.

 

[mohawk]

Rth 2:20 "May the LORD bless Boaz!" Naomi exclaimed. "The LORD always keeps his promises to the living and the dead." And she went on, "That man is a close relative of ours, one of those responsible for taking care of us."

 

[mohawk]

Rth 2:21 Then Ruth said, "Best of all, he told me to keep gathering grain with his workers until they finish the harvest."

 

[mohawk]

Rth 2:22 Naomi said to Ruth, "Yes, daughter, it will be better for you to work with the women in Boaz' field. You might be molested if you went to someone else's field."

 

[mohawk]

Rth 2:23 So Ruth worked with them and gathered grain until all the barley and wheat had been harvested. And she continued to live with her mother-in-law.

 

[mohawk]

Rth 3:1 Some time later Naomi said to Ruth, "I must find a husband for you, so that you will have a home of your own.

 

[mohawk]

Rth 3:2 Remember that this man Boaz, whose women you have been working with, is our relative. Now listen. This evening he will be threshing the barley.

 

[mohawk]

Rth 3:3 So wash yourself, put on some perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go where he is threshing, but don't let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.

 

[mohawk]

Rth 3:4 Be sure to notice where he lies down, and after he falls asleep, go and lift the covers and lie down at his feet. He will tell you what to do."

9And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

Ruth 3:10
10And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

Ruth 3:11
11And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

Ruth 3:12
12And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

 

[sarahelizabeth]

Ruth 3:13

13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

Ruth 3:14

So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, “Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”

"He also said, 'Bring me the shawl you are wearing and hold it out,' When she did so, he poured into it six measures of barley and put it on her. Then he went back to town." - Ruth 3:15
