Question source
Ruth
Naomi told Ruth to wash, anoint herself, put on her cloak, and go down to the threshing floor. She was to wait until Boaz had finished eating and drinking, then note where he lay down. The instructions are in Ruth 3:3–4.
3Wash yourself therefore, and anoint you, and put your clothing on you, and get you down to the threshing floor, but don`t make yourself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay you down; and he will tell you what you shall do.
