BRAGADAYJAH 792
Now then Naomi told Ruth that she
wanted to give her advice that things may be well with her. She told her that
she had reason to think that Boaz would spend the night in his threshing floor.
Therefore, she told her to wash and anoint herself and put her best clothes on
and go sit in the threshing floor. Naomi also advised Ruth that she must make
herself inconspicuous until after Boaz had finished eating and drinking; and
afterwards when he would have lain down, she should go and uncover his feet and
lie down next to his feet, and wait until he speaks to her. Ruth listened
carefully and agreed to do all that Naomi directed her; and then she left and
went to the threshing floor and did what Naomi had told her to do. And when
Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went and lay down near the
heap of corn in the threshing floor, and Ruth went and lay down at his feet.
