11 Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you [a]ask, for all my people in the [b]city know that you are (A)a woman of excellence. 12 Now it is true I am a [c]close relative; however, there is a [d]relative closer than I. 13 Remain this night, and when morning comes, (B)if he will [e]redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to [f]redeem you, then I will redeem you, (C)as the Lord lives. Lie down until morning.”
