Ruth 3:1-5

1 Then Na'omi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, should I not seek a home for you, that it may be well with you?

2 Now is not Bo'az our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

3 Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

4 But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies; then, go and uncover his feet and lie down; and he will tell you what to do."

5 And she replied, "All that you say I will do."
