Ruth 3:3-5
New Century Version
3 Wash yourself, put on perfume, change your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. But don’t let him know you’re there until he has finished his dinner. 4 Watch him so you will know where he lies down to sleep. When he lies down, go and lift the cover off his feet[a] and lie down. He will tell you what you should do.”
5 Then Ruth answered, “I will do everything you say.”
