00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:06.240
We are sharing the reading of God' s word in the Old Testament and

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.720
at this opportunity it will be chapter
three of Ruth' s Book. Ruth

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.839
' s Chapter Three. Then said
her mother- in- law Naomi,

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.640
my daughter, I will not seek
a home for you to do well.

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.760
You' re not our relative,
whose maids you' ve been with.

6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.000
Here' s what he' s
blowing up tonight, the escape parva.

7
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:38.399
So you will wash and anoint yourself
and put on your clothes, you will

8
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.320
go to the threshing floor more.
You will not make yourself known to the

9
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:48.039
male until he has finished eating and
drinking. And when he goes to bed,

10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.960
you' ll notice where he lies. And you will go and discover

11
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.359
his feet and lie there and he
will tell you what you have here and

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.640
she will answer. I will do
all that you command me to go down

13
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.000
to the threshing floor and do all
that his mother- in- law had

14
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.840
commanded him. And when you had
eaten and drunk and your heart was happy.

15
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.840
He retired to sleep on the side
of the pile. Then she came

16
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.200
quietly and discovered his feet and lay
down and it happened that at midnight the

17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:34.120
man shivered and turned and here a
woman lay at his feet. Then he

18
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.319
said who you are and she answered. I am ruth Your handmaid spreads the

19
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.400
edge of Your cape over You,
handmaid because You are a close relative and

20
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.760
He said blessed Be Thou of the
LORD, my daughter, Thou hast done

21
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.040
thy last goodness better than the first, not going in search of the young

22
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.599
be they poor or rich. Fear
not now, my child, I will

23
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.680
do with you whatever you say,
for all the people of my people know

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.879
that you are a virtuous woman.
And now, though true, I'

25
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.319
m a close relative. With all
that, there' s a relative closer

26
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.520
than me. Spend the night here
and when it is day, if he

27
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.919
redeems you, well, redeem you
more. If he wouldn' t redeem

28
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.960
you, I' ll redeem you. Jehovah lives, so he rests until

29
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.439
the morning. And after he slept
at his feet until the morning, he

30
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:43.639
rose before men could recognize one another
because he said it is not known that

31
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:50.280
woman came to the era. Then
he said to her take off the robe

32
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:57.039
that he brings upon you and hold
it and hold it She measured six measures

33
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.560
of barley and put them on her
and she went to the city and when

34
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.800
she came to her mother- in- law. She told him what was

35
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.240
there, my daughter, and told
him all that had happened with the man,

36
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.159
and said these six measures of medium
barley, saying to me that you

37
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.039
should not go to your mother-
in- law empty- handed. Then

38
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.280
he told me to wait, my
daughter, until you know how the matter

39
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.479
is resolved, for that man will
not rest until the matter is finished today.
