7 And whenBoaz hadeaten anddrunk, and hisheart wasmerry, hewent to liedown at theend of the heap ofcorn: and shecamesoftly, anduncovered hisfeet, and laid her down.
8 And it came to pass atmidnight, that theman wasafraid, andturned himself: and, behold, awomanlay at his feet.
9 And hesaid, Who art thou? And sheanswered, I amRuth thinehandmaid:spread therefore thyskirt over thinehandmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
10 And hesaid,Blessed be thou of theLORD, mydaughter: for thou hastshewed morekindness in the latterend than at thebeginning, inasmuch as thoufollowedstnot youngmen, whetherpoor or rich.
11 And now, mydaughter,fear not; I willdo to thee all that thourequirest: for all thecity of mypeople dothknow that thou art avirtuous woman.
12 And now it istrue that I am thy nearkinsman: howbeit thereis akinsman nearer than I.
