Ruth 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 3:6

And she went down unto the floor
From the city of Bethlehem, from her mother-in-law's house there, to the threshingfloor of Boaz, which was at some distance from it, and lower:

and did according to all that her mother in law bade her;
both before she went, and after: she washed and anointed herself, and put on her best clothes before she went down, and when she was there took care not to make herself known to any, especially to Boaz, and marked the place where he lay down after he had supped.

Ruth 3:6 In-Context

4 quando autem ierit ad dormiendum nota locum in quo dormiat veniesque et discoperies pallium quo operitur a parte pedum et proicies te et ibi iacebis ipse autem dicet tibi quid agere debeas

5 quae respondit quicquid praeceperis faciam

6 descenditque in aream et fecit omnia quae sibi imperaverat socrus

7 cumque comedisset Booz et bibisset et factus esset hilarior issetque ad dormiendum iuxta acervum manipulorum venit abscondite et discoperto a pedibus eius pallio se proiecit

8 et ecce nocte iam media expavit homo et conturbatus est viditque mulierem iacentem ad pedes suos
