Ruth 3:1-8

1Then her mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek 1security for you, that it may go well for you? 2Now then, is Boaz not 2our relative, with whose young women you were? Behold, he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor tonight. 3Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not reveal yourself to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. 4And it shall be when he lies down, that you shall 3take notice of the place where he lies, and you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down; then he will tell you what you should do.” 5And she said to her, “4All that you say I will do.”

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 5his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down. 8And it happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and 6bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
