Ruth 3:1-5

1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you.

2 Now here is our kinsman Boaz, with whose young women you have been working. See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

3 Now wash 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 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 She said to her, "All that you tell me I will do."
