Ruth 3:14 Context
12And now it is true, that I am thy neare kinseman: howbeit there is a kinseman nearer then I. 13Tary this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if hee will performe vnto thee the part of a kinseman, well, let him doe the kinsemans part; but if hee will not doe the part of a kinseman to thee, then will I doe the part of a kinseman to thee, as the Lord liueth: lie downe vntill the morning. 14¶ And shee lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she rose vp before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be knowen, that a woman came into the floore. 15Also he said, Bring the vaile that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barley, and laide it on her: and he went into the citie. 16And when shee came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? and she tolde her all that the man had done to her.
