“When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.””
“After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.”
“So she lay down at his feet until morning, but she got up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, “Do not let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.””
“His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.”
“At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!”
