Ruth 3:6-9
6So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
7When Boaz had eaten and drunk and 1his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down.
8It happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and 2bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
9He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a 3close relative.”
