Ruth 3:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ When Boaz had finished eating and drinking, he was in a good mood. He went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Then Ruth approached quietly. She uncovered his feet and lay down there. ⁸ In the middle of the night, something surprised Boaz and woke him up. He turned and found a woman lying there at his feet!

⁹ “Who are you?” he asked.

“I’m Ruth,” she said. “You are my family protector. So take good care of me by making me your wife.”
