1. One day, Naomi said to Ruth:It's time I found you a husband, who will give you a home and take care of you.
2. You have been picking up grain beside the women who work for Boaz, and you know he is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be threshing the grain.
3. Now take a bath and put on some perfume, then dress in your best clothes. Go where he is working, but don't let him see you until he has finished eating and drinking.
4. Watch where he goes to spend the night, then when he is asleep, lift the cover and lie down at his feet. He will tell you what to do.
5. Ruth answered, “I'll do whatever you say.”
6. She went out to the place where Boaz was working and did what Naomi had told her.
