Ruth 3:1-6

1 postquam autem reversa est ad socrum suam audivit ab ea filia mi quaeram tibi requiem et providebo ut bene sit tibi

2 Booz iste cuius puellis in agro iuncta es propinquus est noster et hac nocte aream hordei ventilat

3 lava igitur et unguere et induere cultioribus vestimentis ac descende in aream non te videat homo donec esum potumque finierit

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
