| Ruth 3:1 | Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? | | And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort? |
| Ruth 3:2 | Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor. | | And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor. |
| Ruth 3:3 | Wash yourself therefore, and anoint you, and put your clothing on you, and get you down to the threshing floor, but don't make yourself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking. | | So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal. |
| Ruth 3:4 | It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay you down; and he will tell you what you shall do. | | But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do. |
| Ruth 3:5 | She said to her, All that you say I will do. | | And she said, I will do all you say. |

| Ruth 3:7 | When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. | | Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest. |
| Ruth 3:8 | It happened at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. | | Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet. |
| Ruth 3:9 | He said, Who are you? She answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman. | | And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation. |
| Ruth 3:10 | He said, Blessed be you of Yahweh, my daughter: you have showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich. | | And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth. |
| Ruth 3:11 | Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman. | | And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue. |
| Ruth 3:12 | Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I. | | Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I. |
| Ruth 3:13 | Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to you 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 you, then will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as Yahweh lives: lie down until the morning. | | Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so. |
| Ruth 3:14 | She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor. | | And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor. |
| Ruth 3:15 | He said, Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it; and she held it; and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city. | | And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town. |
| Ruth 3:16 | When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? She told her all that the man had done to her. | | And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her. |
| Ruth 3:17 | She said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said, "Don't go empty to your mother-in-law." | | And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands. |
| Ruth 3:18 | Then said she, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day." | | Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through. |
