Ruth 3:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² It’s true that I’m your related redeemer, but there is another related redeemer even closer than I. ¹³ Stay the night, and if he fulfills his duty as your related redeemer in the morning, that will be acceptable. But if he isn’t inclined to do so,^[a] then, as the Lord lives, I will act as your related redeemer myself. So lie down until morning.”

¹⁴ So she lay down at his feet until dawn approached, then got up while it was still difficult for anyone to be recognized. Then he told her, “It shouldn’t be known that a woman has come to the threshing floor.”
