Ruth 3:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Ruth 3:7

5 And she said to her, “All that you say to me I will do.”

6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law instructed her.

7 And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and ^ahis heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

8 Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.

9 And he said, “Who are you?” So she answered, “I am Ruth, your maidservant. ^aTake your maidservant under your wing, for you are ^ba close relative.”

10 Then he said, ^a“Blessed are you of the Lord, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than ^bat the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.

11 And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.

12 Now it is true that I am a ^aclose relative; however, ^bthere is a relative closer than I.
