+THE BOOK OF RUTH
+
+This Book is called RUTH, from the name of the person whose history is
+here recorded: who, being a Gentile, became a convert to the true faith,
+and marrying Booz, the great-grandfather of David, was one of those from
+whom Christ sprung according to the flesh, and an illustrious figure of
+the Gentile church. It is thought this book was written by the prophet
+Samuel.
+
+
+Ruth Chapter 1
+
+Elimelech of Bethlehem going with his wife Noemi, and two sons, into the
+land of Moab, dieth there. His sons marry wives of that country and die
+without issue. Noemi returneth home with her daughter in law Ruth, who
+refuseth to part with her.
+
+1:1. In the days of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a
+famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to
+sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
+
+1:2. He was named Elimelech, and his wife Noemi: and his two sons, the
+one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And
+entering into the country of Moab, they abode there.
+
+1:3. And Elimelech the husband of Noemi died: and she remained with her
+sons.
+
+1:4. And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called
+Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt their ten years,
+
+1:5. And they both died, to wit, Mahalon and Chelion: and the woman was
+left alone, having lost both her sons and her husband.
+
+1:6. And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country, with
+both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked
+upon his people, and had given them food.
+
+1:7. Wherefore she went forth out of the place of her sojournment, with
+both her daughters in law: and being now in the way to return into the
+land of Juda,
+
+1:8. She said to them: Go ye home to your mothers, the Lord deal
+mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
+
+1:9. May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands whom
+you shall take. And she kissed them. And they lifted up their voice, and
+began to weep,
+
+1:10. And to say: We will go on with thee to thy people.
+
+1:11. But she answered them: Return, my daughters: why come ye with me?
+have I any more sons in my womb, that you may hope for husbands of me?
+
+1:12. Return again, my daughters, and go your ways: for I am now spent
+with age, and not fit for wedlock. Although I might conceive this night,
+and bear children,
+
+1:13. If you would wait till they were grown up, and come to man's
+estate, you would be old women before you marry. Do not so, my
+daughters, I beseech you: for I am grieved the more for your distress,
+and the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
+
+1:14. And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep again: Orpha
+kissed her mother in law, and returned: Ruth stuck close to her mother
+in law.
+
+1:15. And Noemi said to her: Behold thy kinswoman is returned to her
+people, and to her gods, go thou with her.
+
+To her gods, etc... Noemi did not mean to persuade Ruth to return to the
+false gods she had formerly worshipped: but by this manner of speech,
+insinuated to her, that if she would go with her, she must renounce her
+false gods and return to the Lord the God of Israel.
+
+1:16. She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave
+thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where
+thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and
+thy God my God.
+
+1:17. The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die:
+and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more
+also, if aught but death part me and thee.
+
+The Lord do so and so, etc... A form of swearing usual in the history of
+the Old Testament, by which the person wished such and such evils to
+fall upon them, if they did not do what they said.
+
+1:18. Then Noemi seeing that Ruth was steadfastly determined to go with
+her, would not be against it, nor persuade her any more to return to her
+friends:
+
+1:l9. So they went together, and came to Bethlehem. And when they were
+come into the city, the report was quickly spread among all: and the
+women said: This is that Noemi.
+
+1:20. But she said to them: Call me not Noemi (that is, beautiful,) but
+call me Mara (that is, bitter), for the Almighty hath quite filled me
+with bitterness.
+
+1:21. I went out full and the Lord hath brought me back empty. Why then
+do you call me Noemi, whom the Lord hath humbled, and the Almighty hath
+afflicted?
+
+1:22. So Noemi came with Ruth, the Moabitess, her daughter in law, from
+the land of her sojournment: and returned into Bethlehem, in the
+beginning of the barley harvest.
+
+Ruth Chapter 2
+
+Ruth gleaneth in the field of Booz, who sheweth her favour.
+
+2:1. Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very
+rich, whose name was Booz.
+
+2:3. And Ruth, the Moabitess, said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I
+will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands
+of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder, that
+will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
+
+2:3. She went, therefore, and gleaned the ears of corn after the
+reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was
+of the kindred of Elimelech.
+
+2:4. And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The
+Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
+
+2:5. And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose
+maid is this?
+
+2:6. And he answered him: This is the Moabitess, who came with Noemi,
+from the land of Moab,
+
+2:7. And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain,
+following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from
+morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
+
+2:8. And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any
+other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
+
+2:9. And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to
+molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of
+the waters whereof the servants drink.
+
+2:l0. She fell on her face, and worshipping upon the ground, said to
+him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes,
+and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me, a woman of
+another country?
+
+2:11. And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to
+thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left
+thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a
+people which thou knewest not heretofore.
+
+2:12. The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayst thou receive a
+full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and
+under whose wings thou art fled.
+
+2:13. And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast
+comforted me, and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not
+like to one of thy maids.
+
+2:14. And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the
+bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the
+reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and
+took the leavings.
+
+2:15. And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before.
+And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with
+you, hinder her not:
+
+2:16. And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them,
+that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when
+she gathereth them.
+
+2:17. She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out
+with a rod, and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the
+measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
+
+2:18. Which she took up, and returned into the city, and shewed it to
+her mother in law: moreover, she brought out, and gave her of the
+remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
+
+2:19. And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today,
+and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee.
+And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name,
+that he was called Booz.
+
+2:20. And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the
+same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the
+dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
+
+2:21. And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his
+reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
+
+2:22. And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my
+daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man's field
+some one may resist thee.
+
+2:23. So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean
+with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
+
+Ruth Chapter 3
+
+Ruth instructed by her mother in law lieth at Booz's feet, claiming him
+for her husband by the law of affinity: she receiveth a good answer, and
+six measures of barley.
+
+3:1. After she was returned to her mother in law, Noemi said to her: My
+daughter, I will seek rest for thee, and will provide that it may be
+well with thee.
+
+3:2. This Booz, with whose maids thou wast joined in the field, is our
+near kinsman, and behold this night he winnoweth barley in the
+threshingfloor.
+
+3:3. Wash thyself therefore and anoint thee, and put on thy best
+garments, and go down to the barnfloor: but let not the man see thee,
+till he shall have done eating and drinking.
+
+3:4. And when he shall go to sleep, mark the place wherein he sleepeth:
+and thou shalt go in, and lift up the clothes wherewith he is covered
+towards his feet, and shalt lay thyself down there: and he will tell
+thee what thou must do.
+
+3:5. She answered: Whatsoever thou shalt command, I will do.
+
+3:6. And she went down to the barnfloor, and did all that her mother in
+law had bid her.
+
+3:7. And when Booz had eaten, and drunk, and was merry, he went to sleep
+by the heap of sheaves, and she came softly, and uncovering his feet,
+laid herself down.
+
+3:8. And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and
+troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet,
+
+3:9. And he said to her: Who art thou? And she answered: I am Ruth, thy
+handmaid: spread thy coverlet over thy servant, for thou art a near
+kinsman.
+
+3:10. And he said: Blessed art thou of the Lord, my daughter, and thy
+latter kindness has surpassed the former: because thou hast not followed
+young men either poor or rich.
+
+Thy latter kindness, viz... to thy husband deceased in seeking to keep
+up his name and family by marrying his relation according to the law,
+and not following after young men. For Booz, it seems, was then in
+years.
+
+3:11. Fear not therefore, but whatsoever thou shalt say to me I will do
+to thee. For all the people that dwell within the gates of my city, know
+that thou art a virtuous woman.
+
+3:12. Neither do I deny myself to be near of kin, but there is another
+nearer than I.
+
+3:13. Rest thou this night: and when morning is come, if he will take
+thee by the right of kindred, all is well: but if he will not, I will
+undoubtedly take thee, so the Lord liveth: sleep till the morning.
+
+3:14. So she slept at his feet till the night was going off. And she
+arose before men could know one another, and Booz said: Beware lest any
+man know that thou camest hither.
+
+3:15. And again he said: Spread thy mantle, wherewith thou art covered,
+and hold it with both hands. And when she spread it and held it, he
+measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her. And she carried
+it, and went into the city,
+
+3:16. And came to her mother in law; who said to her: What hast thou
+done, daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
+
+3:17. And she said: Behold he hath given me six measures of barley: for
+he said: I will not have thee return empty to thy mother in law.
+
+3:18. And Noemi said: Wait, my daughter, till we see what end the thing
+will have. For the man will not rest until he have accomplished what he
+hath said.
+
+Ruth Chapter 4
+
+Upon the refusal of the nearer kinsman, Booz marrieth Ruth, who bringeth
+forth Obed, the grandfather of David.
+
+4:1 Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen
+the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him,
+calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down
+here. He turned aside, and sat down.
+
+4:2. And Booz, taking ten men of the ancients of the city, said to them:
+Sit ye down here.
+
+4:3. They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned
+from the country of Moab will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our
+brother Elimelech.
+
+4:4. I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before
+all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt
+take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it:
+but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to
+do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me,
+who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.
+
+4:5. And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman's
+hand, thou must take also Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of the
+deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance.
+
+4:6. He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut
+off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege,
+which I profess I do willingly forego.
+
+4:7. Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen,
+that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant
+might be sure, the man put off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour;
+this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel.
+
+4:8. So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he
+took it off from his foot.
+
+4:9. And he said to the ancients, and to all the people: You are
+witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and
+Chelion's, and Mahalon's, of the hand of Noemi:
+
+4:10. And have taken to wife Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon,
+to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be
+cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I
+say, are witnesses of this thing.
+
+4:11. Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients,
+answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy
+house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she
+may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in
+Bethlehem:
+
+Ephrata... Another name of Bethlehem.
+
+4:12. And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar
+bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young
+woman.
+
+4:13. Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her,
+and the Lord gave her to conceive, and to bear a son.
+
+4:14. And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not
+suffered thy family to want a successor: that his name should be
+preserved in Israel.
+
+4:15. And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy
+old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is
+much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons.
+
+4:16. And Noemi taking the child, laid it in her bosom, and she carried
+it, and was a nurse unto it.
+
+4:17. And the women, her neighbours, congratulating with her, and
+saying, There is a son born to Noemi, called his name Obed: he is the
+father of Isai, the father of David.
+
+4:18. These are the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esron,
+
+4:19. Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,
+
+4:20. Aminadab begot Nahasson, Nahasson begot Salmon,
+
+4:21. Salmon begot Booz, Booz begot Obed,
+
+4:22. Obed begot Isai, Isai begot David.

+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
