Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that] if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, [as] the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

Commentary

Commentary on Ruth 3:13

Theological / Devotional

Tarry this night. Boaz sets a definite time limit to his request for a delay in fulfilling Ruth’s request. It would be but a few hours at the most (see on v. 11).

If he will perform. See on v. 12.

Lie down until the morning. In effect Boaz said to her, “You have made clear the object of your plea, and I fully assent; but do not run the risk of going back to your mother-in-law now, in the dead of the night.”
