3:13 Why did Boaz tell Ruth to remain with him that night, potentially compromising her virtue, rather than sending her home immediately? In view of the general lawlessness and social disruption that characterized the period of the judges (see Jdg 21:25), sending Ruth home alone late at night would have placed her life in danger. The term translated “stay [here]” is never used in Scripture in the context of a sexual situation.
