7 And Boaz ate and drank until his heart was merry[a] and then he came to lie at the end of the grain heap. And she came in quietly and uncovered[b] his feet and lay down. 8 And it happened in the middle of the night the man was startled and he reached out and behold, a woman was lying at his feet. 9 And he said, “Who are you?” And she said, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your garment[c] over your servant because you are a redeemer.”

Ruth 3:7-9
New International Version
7 When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits,(A) he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile.(B) Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. 8 In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet!
9 “Who are you?” he asked.
“I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment(C) over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer[a](D) of our family.”
