+Book 08 Ruth
+001:001 It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there
+ was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah
+ went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife,
+ and his two sons.
+001:002 The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi,
+ and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of
+ Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab,
+ and continued there.
+001:003 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left,
+ and her two sons.
+001:004 They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name
+ of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth:
+ and they lived there about ten years.
+001:005 Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left
+ of her two children and of her husband.
+001:006 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return
+ from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab
+ how that Yahweh had visited his people in giving them bread.
+001:007 She went forth out of the place where she was, and her two
+ daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return
+ to the land of Judah.
+001:008 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each
+ of you to her mother's house: Yahweh deal kindly with you,
+ as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
+001:009 Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house
+ of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up
+ their voice, and wept.
+001:010 They said to her, No, but we will return with you to your people.
+001:011 Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you go with me?
+ have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
+001:012 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have
+ a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even
+ have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;
+001:013 would you therefore wait until they were grown? would you
+ therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters,
+ for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yahweh
+ is gone forth against me.
+001:014 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed
+ her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her.
+001:015 She said, Behold, your sister-in-law is gone back to her people,
+ and to her god: return you after your sister-in-law.
+001:016 Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return
+ from following after you, for where you go, I will go;
+ and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people,
+ and your God my God;
+001:017 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried:
+ Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part
+ you and me."
+001:018 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her,
+ she left off speaking to her.
+001:019 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened,
+ when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved
+ about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?
+001:020 She said to them, "Don't call me Naomi, call me Mara;
+ for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
+001:021 I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty;
+ why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has testified against me,
+ and the Almighty has afflicted me?"
+001:022 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law,
+ with her, who returned out of the country of Moab:
+ and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
+002:001 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth,
+ of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
+002:002 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field,
+ and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight
+ I shall find favor. She said to her, Go, my daughter.
+002:003 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers:
+ and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging
+ to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
+002:004 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers,
+ Yahweh be with you. They answered him, Yahweh bless you.
+002:005 Then said Boaz to his servant who was set over the reapers,
+ Whose young lady is this?
+002:006 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, It is the Moabite
+ lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
+002:007 She said, Please let me glean and gather after the reapers
+ among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even
+ from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little
+ in the house.
+002:008 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Don't you hear, my daughter?
+ Don't go to glean in another field, neither pass from hence,
+ but abide here fast by my maidens.
+002:009 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them:
+ haven't I charged the young men that they shall not touch
+ you? and when you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink
+ of that which the young men have drawn.
+002:010 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
+ and said to him, Why have I found favor in your sight,
+ that you should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
+002:011 Boaz answered her, It has fully been shown me, all that you
+ have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband;
+ and how you have left your father and your mother,
+ and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you
+ didn't know before.
+002:012 Yahweh recompense your work, and a full reward be given you
+ of Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you are come
+ to take refuge.
+002:013 Then she said, Let me find favor in your sight, my lord,
+ because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly
+ to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens.
+002:014 At meal time Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread,
+ and dip your morsel in the vinegar. She sat beside the reapers,
+ and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was sufficed,
+ and left of it.
+002:015 When she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his
+ young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves,
+ and don't reproach her.
+002:016 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it,
+ and let her glean, and don't rebuke her.
+002:017 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that
+ which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
+002:018 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law
+ saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave
+ to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
+002:019 Her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? and
+ where have you worked? blessed be he who did take knowledge of you.
+ She shown her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said,
+ The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
+002:020 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Yahweh,
+ who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.
+ Naomi said to her, The man is a close relative to us,
+ one of our near kinsmen.
+002:021 Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, You shall keep
+ fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
+002:022 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter,
+ that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you
+ in any other field.
+002:023 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end
+ of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived
+ with her mother-in-law.
+003:001 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I
+ not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
+003:002 Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were?
+ Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.
+003:003 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.
+003:004 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.
+003:005 She said to her, All that you say I will do.
+003:006 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all
+ that her mother-in-law told her.
+003:007 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.
+003:008 It happened at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself;
+ and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
+003:009 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.
+003:010 He said, Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter:
+ you have shown more kindness in the latter end than at
+ the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men,
+ whether poor or rich.
+003:011 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.
+003:012 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is
+ a kinsman nearer than I.
+003:013 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.
+003:014 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.
+003:015 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.
+003:016 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.
+003:017 She said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said,
+ "Don't go empty to your mother-in-law."
+003:018 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."
+004:001 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there:
+ and behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by;
+ to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here.
+ He turned aside, and sat down.
+004:002 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you
+ down here. They sat down.
+004:003 He said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come back out
+ of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land,
+ which was our brother Elimelech's:
+004:004 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before
+ those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.
+ If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not
+ redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there
+ is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.
+ He said, I will redeem it.
+004:005 Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi,
+ you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead,
+ to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.
+004:006 The near kinsman said, I can't redeem it for myself, lest I
+ mar my own inheritance: take my right of redemption on you;
+ for I can't redeem it.
+004:007 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning
+ redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things:
+ a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor;
+ and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.
+004:008 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself.
+ He drew off his shoe.
+004:009 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses
+ this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's,
+ and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
+004:010 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I
+ purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead
+ on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off
+ from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place:
+ you are witnesses this day.
+004:011 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We
+ are witnesses. Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house
+ like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel:
+ and do you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
+004:012 and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar
+ bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you
+ of this young woman.
+004:013 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her,
+ and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.
+004:014 The women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left
+ you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be
+ famous in Israel.
+004:015 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you
+ in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you,
+ who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.
+004:016 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became
+ nurse to it.
+004:017 The women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son
+ born to Naomi; and they named him Obed: he is the father
+ of Jesse, the father of David.
+004:018 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became
+ the father of Hezron,
+004:019 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became
+ the father of Amminadab,
+004:020 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became
+ the father of Salmon,
+004:021 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became
+ the father of Obed,
+004:022 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became
+ the father of David.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
