3, 4
Rth
3:1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not
seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
Rth
3:2 Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold,
he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.
Rth
3:3 Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself, and put your
clothing on yourself, and go down to the threshing floor, but don't
make yourself known to the man, until he has finished eating and
drinking.
Rth
3:4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place
where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and
lay down; then he will tell you what you shall do.
Rth
3:5 She said to her, All that you say I will do.
Rth
3:6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all
that her mother-in-law told her.
Rth
3:7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went
to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and
uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
Rth
3:8 It happened at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned
himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Rth
3:9 He said, Who are you? She answered, I am Ruth your handmaid:
spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near
kinsman.
Rth
3:10 He said, Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter: you have shown
more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as
you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Rth
3:11 Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that
you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a
worthy woman.
Rth
3:12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a
kinsman nearer than I.
Rth
3:13 Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he
will perform for you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the
kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman for you,
then will I do the part of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives: lie
down until the morning.
Rth
3:14 She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one
could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the
woman came to the threshing floor.
Rth
3:15 He said, Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it; and she
held it; and he measured six measures
of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city.
Rth
3:16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are you, my
daughter? She told her all that the man had done to her.
Rth
3:17 She said, These six measures
of barley gave he me; for he said, "Don't go empty to your
mother-in-law."
Rth
3:18 Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how
the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has
finished the thing this day."
Rth
4:1 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and
behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said,
Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. He turned aside, and sat
down.
Rth
4:2 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down
here. They sat down.
Rth
4:3 He said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come back out of the
country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother
Elimelech's:
Rth
4:4 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who
sit here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it,
redeem it: but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may
know; for there is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.
He said, I will redeem it.
Rth
4:5 Then said Boaz, On the day you buy the field from the hand of
Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the
dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.
Rth
4:6 The near kinsman said, I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar
my own inheritance: take my right of redemption on you; for I can't
redeem it.
Rth
4:7 Now this was the custom
in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning
exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave
it to his neighbor; and this was the manner
of attestation in Israel.
Rth
4:8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. He drew
off his shoe.
Rth
4:9 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are
witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and
all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
Rth
4:10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I
purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his
inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off from among his
brothers, and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.
Rth
4:11 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We
are witnesses. Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house
like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel: and
treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
Rth
4:12 and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore
to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you of this young
woman.
Rth
4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to
her, and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Rth
4:14 The women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left
you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in
Israel.
Rth
4:15 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your
old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to
you than seven sons, has borne him.
Rth
4:16 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became
nurse to it.
Rth
4:17 The women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son
born to Naomi; and they named him Obed: he is the father of Jesse,
the father of David.
Rth
4:18 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez
became the father of Hezron,
Rth
4:19 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father
of Amminadab,
Rth
4:20 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became
the father of Salmon,
Rth
4:21 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the
father of Obed,
Rth
4:22 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the
father of David.

this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform
to you the part of a kinsman,

of a kinsman to you, then
will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as Yahweh lives: lie down
until the morning.
Stay
over to-night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will redeem

back out of the country

brother, to Elimelech,
hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;
Ruth 4 4
I
thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit
here, and before the elders of my
people. If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not redeem
it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.
He said, I will redeem it.
And
I thought I would apprise thee of it and say, Buy [it] in the
presence of the inhabitants,
and in the presence of the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem
[it], redeem;
but if thou wilt not redeem, tell me, that I may know; for there is
none to redeem
besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
and
I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and
before the elders
of my people; if thou dost redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem
--declare
to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I
after thee.`And
he saith, I redeem [it].`

said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must
buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess,
the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his
inheritance.

Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of
Naomi, then from
Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought [it], to
raise up the name
of the dead over his inheritance.`
Ruth 4 6
The
near kinsman said, I can`t redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own
inheritance: take my right
of redemption on you; for I can`t redeem it.
And
he that had the right of redemption said, I cannot redeem [it] for
myself, lest I mar mine
own inheritance. Redeem thou for thyself what I should redeem, for I
cannot redeem [it].
And
the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I
destroy mine
inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption,
for I am not
able to redeem.`
Ruth 4 7
Now
this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming
and concerning exchanging,
to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his
neighbor; and this was
the [manner of] attestation in Israel.
Now
this [was the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redemption
and concerning
exchange, to confirm the whole matter: a man drew off his sandal,
and gave it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation in Israel.

this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to
establish anything:
a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbour,
and this
[is] the testimony in Israel.

So
the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. He drew off his
shoe.
And
he that had the right of redemption said to Boaz, Buy for thyself;
and he drew off his sandal.
And
the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy [it] for thyself,` and draweth off
his sandal.
Ruth 4 9

said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses this
day, that I have bought all that
was Elimelech`s, and all that was Chilion`s and Mahlon`s, of the hand
of Naomi.

Boaz said to the elders and all the people, Ye are witnesses this
day, that I have bought
all that was Elimelech`s, and all that was Chilion`s and Mahlon`s,

Boaz saith to the elders, and [to] all the people, `Witnesses [are]
ye to-day that I have bought all that [is] to Elimelech, and all that [is] to
Chilion and Mahlon, from
the hand of Naomi;
Ruth 4 10
Moreover
Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my
wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be
cut off from among his brothers,
and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.
moreover
Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my
wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the
dead be not cut off from
among his brethren and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses
this day.
and
also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for
a wife, to raise
up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the
dead is not
cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place;
witnesses ye [are]
to-day.`
Ruth 4 11
All
the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are
witnesses. Yahweh make the woman
who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two
built the house of Israel:
and do you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
And
all the people that were in the gate and the elders said, [We are]
witnesses. Jehovah make
the woman that cometh into thy house like Rachel and like Leah,
which two did build
the house of Israel; and acquire power in Ephratah, and make
thyself a name in Bethlehem;
And
all the people who [are] in the gate say -- also the elders --
`Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as
Leah, both of whom
built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim
the Name in Beth-Lehem;
Ruth 4 12
and
let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah,
of the seed which Yahweh
shall give you of this young woman.
and
let thy house become like the house of Pherez, whom Tamar bore to
Judah, of the seed which
Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman.
and
let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah),
of the seed
which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.`
Ruth 4 13
So
Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and
Yahweh gave her conception,
and she bore a son.
And
Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her,
and Jehovah gave her
conception, and she bore a son.

Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto
her, and Jehovah
giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son.

The
women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left you this day
without a near kinsman;
and let his name be famous in Israel.
And
the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah who hath not left thee
this day without one
that has the right of redemption, and may his name be famous in
Israel!
And
the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not let a
redeemer cease
to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,
Ruth 4 15
He
shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you in your old age,
for your daughter-in-law, who
loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.
And
he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine
old age; for thy daughter-in-law
who loves thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has borne
him.
and
he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of
thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee -- who is better to thee
than seven sons
-- hath borne him.`

women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to
Naomi; and they named him
Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

a son born
to Naomi,` and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse,

John 10
Joh 10:1 "Most
certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the
sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber.
Joh 10:2 But one who
enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 The gatekeeper
opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls
his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
Joh 10:4 Whenever he
brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow
him, for they know his voice.
Joh 10:5 They will by
no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't
know the voice of strangers."
Joh 10:6 Jesus spoke
this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling
them.

therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am
the sheep's door.
Joh 10:8 All who came
before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to
them.
Joh 10:9 I am the door.
If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go
out, and will find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief
only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have
life, and may have it abundantly.
Joh 10:11 I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Joh 10:12 He who is a
hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the
wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the
sheep, and scatters them.
Joh 10:13 The hired
hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the
sheep.
Joh 10:14 I am the good
shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;
Joh 10:15 even as the
Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the
sheep.
Joh 10:16 I have other
sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they
will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.
Joh 10:17 Therefore the
Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it
again.
Joh 10:18 No one takes
it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment
from my Father."
Joh 10:19 Therefore a
division arose again among the Jews because of these words.
Joh 10:20 Many of them
said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"
Joh 10:21 Others said,
"These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't
possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
Joh 10:22 It was the
Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.
Joh 10:23 It was
winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
Joh 10:24 The Jews
therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you
hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
Joh 10:25 Jesus
answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works
that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
Joh 10:26 But you don't
believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear
my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Joh 10:28 I give
eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch
them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father,
who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to
snatch them out of my Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and the
Father are one."
Joh 10:31 Therefore
Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus
answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father.
For which of those works do you stone me?"
Joh 10:33 The Jews
answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for
blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
Joh 10:34 Jesus
answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are
gods?'
Joh 10:35 If he called
them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be
broken),
Joh 10:36 do you say of
him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You
blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
Joh 10:37 If I don't do
the works of my Father, don't believe me.
Joh 10:38 But if I do
them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may
know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
Joh 10:39 They sought
again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
Joh 10:40 He went away
again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at
first, and there he stayed.
Joh 10:41 Many came to
him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that
John said about this man is true."
Joh 10:42 Many believed
in him there.

follow him, for they know
his voice.
When
he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep
follow him, because they know his voice.
and
when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and
the sheep follow
him, because they have known his voice;

They
will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they
don`t know the voice of strangers."
But
they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because
they know not the voice
of strangers.
