Ruth 3:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Don’t be afraid, my daughter. I’ll do for you everything that you have asked, since all of my people in town are aware that you’re a virtuous^[a] woman. ¹² It’s true that I’m your related redeemer, but there is another related redeemer even closer than I. ¹³ Stay the night, and if he fulfills his duty as your related redeemer in the morning, that will be acceptable. But if he isn’t inclined to do so,^[b] then, as the Lord lives, I will act as your related redeemer myself. So lie down until morning.”
