thyself
, and put thy garments
upon thee, and gone
down to the threshing-
floor ;

not thyself be
known to
the man till
he complete
to
eat
and to
drink;
Wash
thyself
therefore
, and anoint
thee
, and put thy raiment
upon thee, and get
thee
down to the floor :
but
make
not thyself known unto
the man ,
until
he shall
have
done

declare
to
thee that
which
thou dost
do. '

tell
thee what
thou shalt
do.

and drinketh
, and his heart is
glad;

gently
, and uncovereth
his feet, and lieth
down.

at his feet.

handmaid ,
for thou `
art '

, `
Blessed `art'
thou of Jehovah
, my daughter ;
thou hast dealt
more kindly
at
the latter end than at the beginning --
not to
go
after
the
young men, either
poor or rich.
And he said
, Blessed be
thou of the
LORD
, my daughter :
for
thou hast showed
more kindness
in
the latter end than at the beginning ,
inasmuch
as
thou
followedst
not young men, whether
poor or rich.
And now, my daughter, fear not ,
all
that
thou
sayest
I do to thee ,
for all the gate
of my people doth know that thou `
art '
a virtuous woman.
And 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.
And now ,
surely,
true ,
that I `
am '
a
redeemer,
but
also
there is a redeemer
nearer than I.
And now it
is
true that I am thy
near
kinsman:
howbeit
there is a kinsman
nearer than I.

thee, well :

redeemeth

if he delight
not to redeem
thee, then I have
redeemed
thee --
I;
Jehovah
liveth !
lie down till
the morning. '
Tarry
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.

come
into the floor. '

he saith
, `Give
the covering
which
`is'
on
thee, and keep
hold on
it ;'

on
it, and
he measureth
six `
measures '
of barley, and layeth
`
it '
on her ;
and he
goeth
into the city.

the vail

done to her.

of barley he hath
given
to
me ,
for he said, Thou
dost
not
go in
empty unto thy mother -
in -
law. '
And she said
, These six measures of barley gave
he me ;

Sit still, my daughter, till
thou dost
know how the matter falleth,
for the man doth
not rest except
he hath
completed
the matter
to-
day. '

said
she, Sit still, my daughter, until
thou know how the matter will
fall:
for the man will
not be
in
rest ,
until
he have
finished
the thing
this
day.
