Ruth 3:1-5

Lexham English Bible

Ruth Meets Boaz at the Threshing Floor

3 Now Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek for you security that things may be good for you? ² So then, is not Boaz our kinsman whose maidservants you were with? Look, he is winnowing the barley at the threshing floor tonight. ³ Wash, 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. ⁴ And 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.” ⁵ And she said to her, “I will do all that you say.”
