Ruth 3:13 in Context — Ruth 3

11 Agora, pois, não temas, filha minha: eu farei contigo o que tu disseres, pois que toda a porta de meu povo sabe que és mulher virtuosa.

12 E agora, ainda que seja certo que eu sou parente próximo, contudo isso há parente mais próximo que eu.

13 Repousa esta noite, e quando for de dia, se ele te redimir, bem, redima-te; mas se ele não te quiser redimir, eu te redimirei, vive o SENHOR. Descansa, pois, até a manhã.

14 E depois que repousou a seus pés até a manhã, levantou-se, antes que ninguém pudesse conhecer a outro. E ele disse: Não se saiba que tenha vindo mulher à eira.

15 Depois lhe disse: Aproxima o lenço que trazes sobre ti, e segura-o. E enquanto ela o segurava, ele mediu seis medidas de cevada, e as pôs às costas: e veio ela à cidade.
