 | | Now, Naomi's instruction to Ruth is wait 'til everyone is gone, wait 'til the meal is over, then you watch and see where Boaz goes and lies down for the night. Apparently they would spend the night at the threshing floor and get up the next morning and begin their work again. |
 | | Don't take this as gospel truth, but it may be that she's using her woman's intuition. You know, Naomi may have sensed that Boaz had shown some little romantic interest in Ruth, and she just wanted to help things along. You mothers have done that. You know it and so does everybody else. |
 | | She knew that if Ruth were lying at his feet and moved a part of his long robe, nothing improper would ever happen. She knew that Boaz would immediately recognize what Ruth was doing and, therefore, it was OK for her to do that. |
