Ruth 3:13
As the Lord liveth - Thus he bound himself by an oath to take her to wife if the other should refuse.
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.
13 Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will aperform the duty of a close relative for you—good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, bas the Lord lives! Lie down until morning.”
14 So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, a“Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
15 Also he said, “Bring the1 shawl that is on you and hold it.” And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then2 she went into the city.
16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said,1 “Is that you, my daughter?” Then she told her all that the man had done for her.
