Ruth 3:8 Context
6¶ And she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. 7And when Boaz had eaten and drunke, and his heart was merrie, hee went to lie downe at the ende of the heape of corne: and she came softly, and vncouered his feet, and laid her downe. 8¶ And it came to passe at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himselfe: and behold, a woman lay at his feete. 9And hee said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt ouer thine handmaid, for thou art a neare kinseman. 10And hee said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindnesse in the latter ende, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, whether poore, or rich.
