Ruth 3:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 So now, my daughter, do not be afraid. I will do everything that you are asking. Indeed, all the people at the city gate[a] know that you are an honorable woman. 12 Now it is indeed true—certainly I am a family redeemer—but nevertheless there is a redeemer who is closer than I am. 13 Spend the night here. If in the morning he acts as a redeemer for you, good. Let him redeem. But if he does not want to act as a redeemer for you, then I will act as a redeemer for you myself, as the Lord lives! Lie down here until morning.”
