Ruth 3:2–9

²So then, is not Boaz our kinsman whose maidservants you were with? Look, he is winnowing the barley at the threshing floor tonight. ³Wash, anoint yourself, put your clothing on, and go down to the threshing floor. Do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking. ⁴And when he lies, take notice of the place where he lies. And you shall go and uncover^a his feet and lie down, and he shall tell you what to do.” ⁵And she said to her, “I will do all that you say.”

⁶And she went down to the threshing floor and did all that her mother-in-law had instructed her. ⁷And Boaz ate and drank until his heart was merry^b and then he came to lie at the end of the grain heap. And she came in quietly and uncovered^c his feet and lay down. ⁸And it happened in the middle of the night the man was startled and he reached out and behold, a woman was lying at his feet. ⁹And he said, “Who are you?” And she said, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your garment^d over your servant because you are a redeemer.”
