Ruth 3:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ When Boaz had eaten and drunk and ^(A)his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down. ⁸ It happened in the middle of the night that the man was startled and ^[a]bent forward; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet. ⁹ He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a ^[b]close relative.”
