5 Then Ruth answered, “I will do everything you say.”
6 So Ruth went down to the threshing floor. She did all her mother-in-law told her to do.
7 After eating and drinking, Boaz was feeling good. He went to lie down beside the pile of grain. Then Ruth went to him quietly. She lifted the cover from his feet and lay down.
8 About midnight Boaz woke up suddenly and rolled over. He was startled! There was a woman lying near his feet!
9 Boaz asked, “Who are you?”She said, “I am Ruth, your servant girl. Spread your cover over me because you are the one who is to take care of me.”
10 Then Boaz said, “The Lord bless you, my daughter. Your kindness to me is greater than the kindness you showed to Naomi in the beginning. You didn’t look for a young man to marry, either rich or poor.
11 Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do everything you ask. All the people in our town know you are a very good woman.
