- 1Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?וַתֹּ֥אמֶר נָעֳמִ֣י חֲמוֹתָ֑הּ בִּתִּ֞י הֲלֹ֧א אֲבַקֶּשׁ מָנ֖וֹחַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽיטַב
- 2And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.וְעַתָּ֗ה הֲלֹ֥א בֹ֨עַז֙ מֹֽדַעְתָּ֔נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖ית אֶת נַעֲרוֹתָ֑יו הִנֵּה ה֗וּא זֹרֶ֛ה אֶת גֹּ֥רֶן הַשְּׂעֹרִ֖ים הַלָּֽיְלָה
- 3Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.וְרָחַ֣צְתְּ וָסַ֗כְתְּ וְשַׂ֧מְתְּ שמלתך שִׂמְלֹתַ֛יִךְ עָלַ֖יִךְ וירדתי וְיָרַ֣דְתְּ הַגֹּ֑רֶן אַל תִּוָּדְעִ֣י לָאִ֔ישׁ עַ֥ד כַּלֹּת֖וֹ לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּֽוֹת
- 4And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.וִיהִ֣י בְשָׁכְב֗וֹ וְיָדַ֨עַתְּ֙ אֶת הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשְׁכַּב שָׁ֔ם וּבָ֛את וְגִלִּ֥ית מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו ושכבתי וְשָׁכָ֑בְתְּ וְהוּא֙ יַגִּ֣יד אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעַשִֽׂין
- 5And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.וַתֹּ֖אמֶר אֵלֶ֑יהָ כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרִ֥י אֵלַ֖י אֶֽעֱשֶֽׂה
- 6And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.וַתֵּ֖רֶד הַגֹּ֑רֶן וַתַּ֕עַשׂ כְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר צִוַּ֖תָּה חֲמוֹתָֽהּ
- 7And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.וַיֹּ֨אכַל בֹּ֤עַז וַיֵּשְׁתְּ֙ וַיִּיטַ֣ב לִבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֕א לִשְׁכַּ֖ב בִּקְצֵ֣ה הָעֲרֵמָ֑ה וַתָּבֹ֣א בַלָּ֔ט וַתְּגַ֥ל מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב
- 8And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.וַיְהִי֙ בַּחֲצִ֣י הַלַּ֔יְלָה וַיֶּחֱרַ֥ד הָאִ֖ישׁ וַיִּלָּפֵ֑ת וְהִנֵּ֣ה אִשָּׁ֔ה שֹׁכֶ֖בֶת מַרְגְּלֹתָֽיו
- 9And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי אָ֑תּ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר אָנֹכִי֙ ר֣וּת אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ֤ כְנָפֶ֨ךָ֙ עַל אֲמָ֣תְךָ֔ כִּ֥י גֹאֵ֖ל אָֽתָּה
- 10And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.וַיֹּ֗אמֶר בְּרוּכָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ לַֽיהוָה֙ בִּתִּ֔י הֵיטַ֛בְתְּ חַסְדֵּ֥ךְ הָאַחֲר֖וֹן מִן הָרִאשׁ֑וֹן לְבִלְתִּי לֶ֗כֶת אַחֲרֵי֙ הַבַּ֣חוּרִ֔ים אִם דַּ֖ל וְאִם עָשִֽׁיר
- 11And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.וְעַתָּ֗ה בִּתִּי֙ אַל תִּ֣ירְאִ֔י כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרִ֖י אֶֽעֱשֶׂה כִּ֤י יוֹדֵ֨עַ֙ כָּל שַׁ֣עַר עַמִּ֔י כִּ֛י אֵ֥שֶׁת חַ֖יִל אָֽתְּ
- 12And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.וְעַתָּה֙ כִּ֣י אָמְנָ֔ם כִּ֥י אם גֹאֵ֖ל אָנֹ֑כִי וְגַ֛ם יֵ֥שׁ גֹּאֵ֖ל קָר֥וֹב מִמֶּֽנִּי
- 13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee 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 thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.לִ֣ינִי הַלַּ֗יְלָה וְהָיָ֤ה בַבֹּ֨קֶר֙ אִם יִגְאָלֵ֥ךְ טוֹב֙ יִגְאָ֔ל וְאִם לֹ֨א יַחְפֹּ֧ץ לְגָֽאֳלֵ֛ךְ וּגְאַלְתִּ֥יךְ אָנֹ֖כִי חַי יְהוָ֑ה שִׁכְבִ֖י עַד הַבֹּֽקֶר
- 14And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.וַתִּשְׁכַּ֤ב מרגלתו מַרְגְּלוֹתָיוֹ֙ עַד הַבֹּ֔קֶר וַתָּ֕קָם בטרום בְּטֶ֛רֶם יַכִּ֥יר אִ֖ישׁ אֶת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אַל יִוָּדַ֔ע כִּי בָ֥אָה הָאִשָּׁ֖ה הַגֹּֽרֶן
- 15Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הָ֠בִי הַמִּטְפַּ֧חַת אֲשֶׁר עָלַ֛יִךְ וְאֶֽחֳזִי וַתֹּ֣אחֶז וַיָּ֤מָד שֵׁשׁ שְׂעֹרִים֙ וַיָּ֣שֶׁת עָלֶ֔יהָ וַיָּבֹ֖א הָעִֽיר
- 16And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.וַתָּבוֹא֙ אֶל חֲמוֹתָ֔הּ וַתֹּ֖אמֶר מִי אַ֣תְּ בִּתִּ֑י וַתַּ֨גֶּד אֵ֛ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָֽשָׂה הָאִֽישׁ
- 17And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.וַתֹּ֕אמֶר שֵׁשׁ הַשְּׂעֹרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה נָ֣תַן כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר אֵלַ֔י אַל תָּב֥וֹאִי רֵיקָ֖ם אֶל חֲמוֹתֵֽךְ
- 18Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי אִם כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
