Ruth 3:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ So he asked, “Who are you?”

“I am Ruth, your slave,” she replied. “Spread your cloak^[a] over me,^(A) for you are a family redeemer.”^(B)

¹⁰ Then he said, “May the Lord bless you,^(C) my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before,^[b] because you have not pursued younger men, whether rich or poor. ¹¹ Now don’t be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you say,^[c] since all the people in my town^[d] know that you are a woman of noble character.^(D)
