08 Ruth
08-1:1 Now it came to pass1961 in the days3117 when the judges8199 ruled,8199 that there was1961 a famine7458 in the land.776 And a certain man376 of Bethlehem-judah4480, 1035, 3063 went1980 to sojourn1481 in the country7704 of Moab,4124 he,1931 and his wife,802 and his two8147 sons.1121
08-1:2 And the name8034 of the man376 was Elimelech,458 and the name8034 of his wife802 Naomi,5281 and the name8034 of his two8147 sons1121 Mahlon4248 and Chilion,3630 Ephrathites673 of Bethlehem-judah.4480, 1035, 3063 And they came935 into the country7704 of Moab,4124 and continued1961 there.8033
08-1:3 And Elimelech458 Naomi's5281 husband376 died;4191 and she1931 was left,7604 and her two8147 sons.1121
08-1:4 And they took5375 them wives802 of the women of Moab;4125 the name8034 of the one259 was Orpah,6204 and the name8034 of the other8145 Ruth:7327 and they dwelled3427 there8033 about ten6235 years.8141
08-1:5 And Mahlon4248 and Chilion3630 died4191 also1571 both8147 of them; and the woman802 was left7604 of her two sons4480, 8147, 3206 and her husband.4480, 376
08-1:6 Then she1931 arose6965 with her daughters-in-law,3618 that she might return7725 from the country4480, 7704 of Moab:4124 for3588 she had heard8085 in the country7704 of Moab4124 how that3588 the LORD3068 had visited6485 (853) his people5971 in giving5414 them bread.3899
08-1:7 Wherefore she went forth3318 out of4480 the place4725 where834, 8033 she was,1961 and her two8147 daughters-in-law3618 with her;5973 and they went1980 on the way1870 to return7725 unto413 the land776 of Judah.3063
08-1:8 And Naomi5281 said559 unto her two8147 daughters-in-law,3618 Go,1980 return7725 each802 to her mother's517 house:1004 the LORD3068 deal6213 kindly2617 with5973 you, as834 ye have dealt6213 with5973 the dead,4191 and with5973 me.
08-1:9 The LORD3068 grant5414 you that ye may find4672 rest,4496 each802 of you in the house1004 of her husband.376 Then she kissed5401 them; and they lifted up5375 their voice,6963 and wept.1058
08-1:10 And they said559 unto her, Surely3588 we will return7725 with854 thee unto thy people.5971
08-1:11 And Naomi5281 said,559 Turn again,7725 my daughters:1323 why4100 will ye go1980 with5973 me? are there yet5750 any more sons1121 in my womb,4578 that they may be1961 your husbands?376
08-1:12 Turn again,7725 my daughters,1323 go1980 your way; for3588 I am too old2204 to have4480, 1961 a husband.376 If3588 I should say,559 I have3426 hope,8615 if I should have1961 a husband376 also1571 tonight,3915 and should also1571 bear3205 sons;1121
08-1:13 Would ye tarry7663 for them2004 till5704, 834 they were grown?1431 would ye stay5702 for them2004 from having1961 husbands?376 nay,408 my daughters;1323 for3588 it grieveth4843 me much3966 for4480 your sakes that3588 the hand3027 of the LORD3068 is gone out3318 against me.
08-1:14 And they lifted up5375 their voice,6963 and wept1058 again:5750 and Orpah6204 kissed5401 her mother-in-law;2545 but Ruth7327 cleaved1692 unto her.
08-1:15 And she said,559 Behold,2009 thy sister-in-law2994 is gone back7725 unto413 her people,5971 and unto413 her gods:430 return7725 thou after310 thy sister-in-law.2994
08-1:16 And Ruth7327 said,559 Entreat6293 me not408 to leave5800 thee, or to return7725 from following after4480, 310 thee: for3588 whither413, 834 thou goest,1980 I will go;1980 and where834 thou lodgest,3885 I will lodge:3885 thy people5971 shall be my people,5971 and thy God430 my God:430
08-1:17 Where834 thou diest,4191 will I die,4191 and there8033 will I be buried:6912 the LORD3068 do6213 so3541 to me, and more3254 also,3541 if aught but3588 death4194 part6504 thee996 and me.996
08-1:18 When she saw7200 that3588 she1931 was steadfastly minded553 to go1980 with854 her, then she left2308 speaking1696 unto413 her.
08-1:19 So they two8147 went1980 until5704 they came935 to Bethlehem.1035 And it came to pass,1961 when they were come935 to Bethlehem,1035 that all3605 the city5892 was moved1949 about5921 them, and they said,559 Is this2063 Naomi?5281
08-1:20 And she said559 unto413 them, Call7121 me not408 Naomi,5281 call7121 me Mara:4755 for3588 the Almighty7706 hath dealt very bitterly3966, 4843 with me.
08-1:21 I589 went out1980 full,4392 and the LORD3068 hath brought me home again7725 empty:7387 why4100 then call7121 ye me Naomi,5281 seeing the LORD3068 hath testified6030 against me, and the Almighty7706 hath afflicted7489 me?
08-1:22 So Naomi5281 returned,7725 and Ruth7327 the Moabitess,4125 her daughter-in-law,3618 with her,5973 which returned7725 out of the country4480, 7704 of Moab:4124 and they1992 came935 to Bethlehem1035 in the beginning8462 of barley8184 harvest.7105
Ruth 2:
Chapter 2:23 Verses
08 Ruth
08-2:1 And Naomi5281 had a kinsman4129 of her husband's,376 a mighty1368 man376 of wealth,2428 of the family4480, 4940 of Elimelech;458 and his name8034 was Boaz.1162
08-2:2 And Ruth7327 the Moabitess4125 said559 unto413 Naomi,5281 Let me now4994 go1980 to the field,7704 and glean3950 ears of corn7641 after310, 834 him in whose sight5869 I shall find4672 grace.2580 And she said559 unto her, Go,1980 my daughter.1323
08-2:3 And she went,1980 and came,935 and gleaned3950 in the field7704 after310 the reapers:7114 and her hap4745 was to light7136 on a part2513 of the field7704 belonging unto Boaz,1162 who834 was of the kindred4480, 4940 of Elimelech.458
08-2:4 And, behold,2009 Boaz1162 came935 from Bethlehem,4480, 1035 and said559 unto the reapers,7114 The LORD3068 be with5973 you. And they answered559 him, The LORD3068 bless1288 thee.
08-2:5 Then said559 Boaz1162 unto his servant5288 that was set5324 over5921 the reapers,7114 Whose4310 damsel5291 is this?2063
08-2:6 And the servant5288 that was set5324 over5921 the reapers7114 answered6030 and said,559 It1931 is the Moabitish4125 damsel5291 that came back7725 with5973 Naomi5281 out of the country4480, 7704 of Moab:4124
08-2:7 And she said,559 I pray4994 you, let me glean3950 and gather622 after310 the reapers7114 among the sheaves:6016 so she came,935 and hath continued5975 even from4480, 227 the morning1242 until5704 now,6258 that2088 she tarried3427 a little4592 in the house.1004
08-2:8 Then said559 Boaz1162 unto413 Ruth,7327 Hearest8085 thou not,3808 my daughter?1323 Go1980 not408 to glean3950 in another312 field,7704 neither1571, 3808 go5674 from hence,4480, 2088 but3541 abide1692 here fast by5973 my maidens:5291
08-2:9 Let thine eyes5869 be on the field7704 that834 they do reap,7114 and go1980 thou after310 them: have I not3808 charged6680 (853) the young men5288 that they shall not1115 touch5060 thee? and when thou art athirst,6770 go1980 unto413 the vessels,3627 and drink8354 of that which4480, 834 the young men5288 have drawn.7579
08-2:10 Then she fell5307 on5921 her face,6440 and bowed herself7812 to the ground,776 and said559 unto413 him, Why4069 have I found4672 grace2580 in thine eyes,5869 that thou shouldest take knowledge5234 of me, seeing I595 am a stranger?5237
08-2:11 And Boaz1162 answered6030 and said559 unto her, It hath fully5046 been showed5046 me, all3605 that834 thou hast done6213 unto (853) thy mother-in-law2545 since310 the death4194 of thine husband:376 and how thou hast left5800 thy father1 and thy mother,517 and the land776 of thy nativity,4138 and art come1980 unto413 a people5971 which834 thou knewest3045 not3808 heretofore.8032, 8543
08-2:12 The LORD3068 recompense7999 thy work,6467 and a full8003 reward4909 be given1961 thee of4480, 5973 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 under8478 whose834 wings3671 thou art come935 to trust.2620
08-2:13 Then she said,559 Let me find4672 favor2580 in thy sight,5869 my lord;113 for3588 that thou hast comforted5162 me, and for that3588 thou hast spoken1696 friendly5921, 3820 unto thine handmaid,8198 though I595 be1961 not3808 like unto one259 of thine handmaidens.8198
08-2:14 And Boaz1162 said559 unto her, At mealtime6256, 400 come5066 thou hither,1988 and eat398 of4480 the bread,3899 and dip2881 thy morsel6595 in the vinegar.2558 And she sat3427 beside4480, 6654 the reapers:7114 and he reached6642 her parched7039 corn, and she did eat,398 and was sufficed,7646 and left.3498
08-2:15 And when she was risen up6965 to glean,3950 Boaz1162 commanded6680 (853) his young men,5288 saying,559 Let her glean3950 even1571 among996 the sheaves,6016 and reproach3637 her not:3808
08-2:16 And let fall7997 also1571 some of4480 the handfuls6653 of purpose7997 for her, and leave5800 them, that she may glean3950 them, and rebuke1605 her not.3808
08-2:17 So she gleaned3950 in the field7704 until5704 even,6153 and beat out2251 (853) that834 she had gleaned:3950 and it was1961 about an ephah374 of barley.8184
08-2:18 And she took it up,5375 and went935 into the city:5892 and her mother-in-law2545 saw7200 (853) what834 she had gleaned:3950 and she brought forth,3318 and gave5414 to her (853) that834 she had reserved3498 after she was sufficed.4480, 7648
08-2:19 And her mother-in-law2545 said559 unto her, Where375 hast thou gleaned3950 today?3117 and where375 wroughtest6213 thou? blessed1288 be1961 he that did take knowledge5234 of thee. And she showed5046 her mother-in-law2545 (853) with5973 whom834 she had wrought,6213 and said,559 The man's376 name8034 with5973 whom834 I wrought6213 today3117 is Boaz.1162
08-2:20 And Naomi5281 said559 unto her daughter-in-law,3618 Blessed1288 be he1931 of the LORD,3068 who834 hath not3808 left off5800 his kindness2617 to854 the living2416 and to854 the dead.4191 And Naomi5281 said559 unto her, The man376 is near of kin7138 unto us, one1931 of our next kinsmen.4480, 1350
08-2:21 And Ruth7327 the Moabitess4125 said,559 He said559 unto413 me also,1571 Thou shalt keep fast1692 by5973 my834 young men,5288 until5704, 518 they have ended3615 (853) all3605 my834 harvest.7105
08-2:22 And Naomi5281 said559 unto413 Ruth7327 her daughter-in-law,3618 It is good,2896 my daughter,1323 that3588 thou go out3318 with5973 his maidens,5291 that they meet6293 thee not3808 in any other312 field.7704
08-2:23 So she kept fast1692 by the maidens5291 of Boaz1162 to glean3950 unto5704 the end3615 of barley8184 harvest7105 and of wheat2406 harvest;7105 and dwelt3427 with854 her mother-in-law.2545

08 Ruth
08-3:1 Then Naomi5281 her mother-in-law2545 said559 unto her, My daughter,1323 shall I not3808 seek1245 rest4494 for thee, that834 it may be well3190 with thee?
08-3:2 And now6258 is not3808 Boaz1162 of our kindred,4130 with854 whose834 maidens5291 thou wast?1961 Behold,2009 he1931 winnoweth2219 barley8184 tonight3915 in (853) the threshingfloor.1637
08-3:3 Wash7364 thyself therefore, and anoint5480 thee, and put7760 thy raiment8071 upon5921 thee, and get thee down3381 to the floor:1637 but make not thyself known3045, 408 unto the man,376 until5704 he shall have done3615 eating398 and drinking.8354
08-3:4 And it shall be,1961 when he lieth down,7901 that thou shalt mark3045 (853) the place4725 where834, 8033 he shall lie,7901 and thou shalt go in,935 and uncover1540 his feet,4772 and lay thee down;7901 and he1931 will tell5046 thee (853) what834 thou shalt do.6213
08-3:5 And she said559 unto413 her, All3605 that834 thou sayest559 unto413 me I will do.6213
08-3:6 And she went down3381 unto the floor,1637 and did6213 according to all3605 that834 her mother-in-law2545 bade6680 her.
08-3:7 And when Boaz1162 had eaten398 and drunk,8354 and his heart3820 was merry,3190 he went935 to lie down7901 at the end7097 of the heap of corn:6194 and she came935 softly,3909 and uncovered1540 his feet,4772 and laid her down.7901
08-3:8 And it came to pass1961 at midnight,2677, 3915 that the man376 was afraid,2729 and turned himself:3943 and, behold,2009 a woman802 lay7901 at his feet.4772
08-3:9 And he said,559 Who4310 art thou?859 And she answered,559 I595 am Ruth7327 thine handmaid:519 spread6566 therefore thy skirt3671 over5921 thine handmaid;519 for3588 thou859 art a near kinsman.1350
08-3:10 And he said,559 Blessed1288 be thou859 of the LORD,3068 my daughter:1323 for thou hast showed more3190 kindness2617 in the latter end314 than4480 at the beginning,7223 inasmuch as thou followedst1980, 310 not1115 young men,970 whether518 poor1800 or518 rich.6223
08-3:11 And now,6258 my daughter,1323 fear3372 not;408 I will do6213 to thee all3605 that834 thou requirest:559 for3588 all3605 the city8179 of my people5971 doth know3045 that3588 thou art a virtuous2428 woman.802
08-3:12 And now6258, 3588 it is true551 that3588, 518 I595 am thy near kinsman:1350 howbeit1571 there is3426 a kinsman1350 nearer7138 than4480 I.
08-3:13 Tarry3885 this night,3915 and it shall be1961 in the morning,1242 that if518 he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman,1350 well;2896 let him do the kinsman's part:1350 but if518 he will2654 not3808 do the part of a kinsman1350 to thee, then will I595 do the part of a kinsman1350 to thee, as the LORD3068 liveth:2416 lie down7901 until5704 the morning.1242
08-3:14 And she lay7901 at his feet4772 until5704 the morning:1242 and she rose up6965 before2958 one376 could know5234 (853) another.7453 And he said,559 Let it not408 be known3045 that3588 a woman802 came935 into the floor.1637
08-3:15 Also he said,559 Bring3051 the veil4304 that834 thou hast upon5921 thee, and hold270 it. And when she held270 it, he measured4058 six8337 measures of barley,8184 and laid7896 it on5921 her: and she went into935 the city.5892
08-3:16 And when she came935 to413 her mother-in-law,2545 she said,559 Who4310 art thou,859 my daughter?1323 And she told5046 her (853) all3605 that834 the man376 had done6213 to her.
08-3:17 And she said,559 These428 six8337 measures of barley8184 gave5414 he me; for3588 he said559 to413 me, Go935 not408 empty7387 unto413 thy mother-in-law.2545
08-3:18 Then said559 she, Sit still,3427 my daughter,1323 until5704, 834 thou know3045 how349 the matter1697 will fall:5307 for3588 the man376 will not3808 be in rest,8252 until3588, 518 he have finished3615 the thing1697 this day.3117

08-4:1 Then went Boaz up5927, 1162 to the gate,8179 and sat him down3427 there:8033 and, behold,2009 the kinsman1350 of whom Boaz1162 spoke1696 came by;5674 unto whom834 he said,559 Ho, such6423 a one!492 turn aside,5493 sit down3427 here.6311 And he turned aside,5493 and sat down.3427
08-4:2 And he took3947 ten6235 men376 of the elders4480, 2205 of the city,5892 and said,559 Sit ye down3427 here.6311 And they sat down.3427
08-4:3 And he said559 unto the kinsman,1350 Naomi,5281 that is come again7725 out of the country4480, 7704 of Moab,4124 selleth4376 a parcel2513 of land,7704 which834 was our brother251 Elimelech's:458
08-4:4 And I589 thought559 to advertise1540, 241 thee, saying,559 Buy7069 it before5048 the inhabitants,3427 and before5048 the elders2205 of
