Ruth 3:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 Now Boaz is our close relative.[a] You worked with his women servants. Tonight he will be working at the threshing floor. 3 Go wash yourself and put on perfume. Change your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But don’t let him see you until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 Then he will lie down. Watch him so you will know the place where he lies down. Go there and lift the cover off his feet[b] and lie down. He will tell you what you should do.”

- 2:20; 3:2 close relatives In Bible times the closest relative could marry a widow without children so she could have children. He would care for this family, but they and their property would not belong to him. They would belong to the dead husband.
- 3:4 lift . . . feet This showed Ruth was asking him to be her husband.
