11 Now don’t be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you say,[a] since all the people in my town[b] know that you are a woman of noble character.(A) 12 Yes, it is true that I am a family redeemer, but there is a redeemer closer than I am. 13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, that’s good.(B) Let him redeem you. But if he doesn’t want to redeem you, as the Lord lives,(C) I will. Now lie down until morning.”
