6So she wentH3381 downH3381 to the threshingH1637 floorH1637 and didH6213 according to allH3605 that her mother-in-lawH2545 had commandedH6680 her.

7When BoazH1162 had eatenH398 and drunkH8354 and 1his heartH3820 was merryH3190, he wentH935 to lieH7901 downH7901 at the endH7097 of the heapH6194 of grainH6194; and she cameH935 secretlyH3909, and uncoveredH1540 his feetH4772 and layH7901 downH7901.
