Ruth 3:1-5

1 Then Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, said to her, "My daughter, I must find a suitable home for you, one that will be good for you.

2 Now Boaz, whose young women you worked with, is our close relative. Tonight he will be working at the threshing floor.

3 Wash yourself, put on perfume, change your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But don't let him know you're there until he has finished his dinner.

4 Watch him so you will know where he lies down to sleep. When he lies down, go and lift the cover off his feetn and lie down. He will tell you what you should do."

5 Then Ruth answered, "I will do everything you say."
