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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 3 of Ruth. Boaz promises to settle the matter in the morning and swears that he will fulfill the responsibility if the closer relative does not wish to do so. The promise combines willingness with respect for family procedure. His character is revealed precisely in the fact that he does not use the nighttime situation to gain a private advantage.

Bleibe über Nacht. Morgen, so er dich nimmt, wohl; gelüstet's ihn aber nicht, dich zu nehmen, so will ich dich nehmen, so wahr der HERR lebt. Schlaf bis zum Morgen.
Reposa esta noche, y cuando sea de día, si él te redimiere, bien, redímate; mas si él no te quisiere redimir, yo te redimiré, vive Jehová. Descansa pues hasta la mañana.
Pasa aquí la noche. Por la mañana, si él quiere redimirte, bien, que te redima. Pero, si no quiere redimirte, yo te redimiré, ¡vive Jehová! Acuéstate hasta la mañana».
Passe ici la nuit. Et demain, s'il veut user envers toi du droit de rachat, à la bonne heure, qu'il le fasse; mais s'il ne lui plaît pas d'en user envers toi, j'en userai, moi, l'Eternel est vivant! Reste couchée jusqu'au matin.
Stattene qui questa notte: e domattina, se colui vorrà usar la sua ragione di consanguinità inverso te, bene, faccialo; ma, se non gli piacerà usarla, io userò la mia ragione di consanguinità inverso te: sì, come il Signore è vivente; giaci fino alla mattina
Fica-te aqui esta noite, e será que, pela manhã, se ele te redimir, bem está, que te redima; porém, se não quiser te redimir, vive o SENHOR, que eu te redimirei. Deita-te aqui até amanhã.
你今夜在這裏住宿,明早他若肯為你盡至親的本分,很好,就由他吧!倘若他不肯,我指著永生的耶和華起誓,我必為你盡上至親的本分。你只管躺到早晨。」
