Now Boaz, with whose maids you were [working], is he not our relative? See now, he is winnowing barley at the threshing floor tonight. So wash and anoint yourself [with olive oil], then put on your [[a]best] clothes, and go down to the threshing floor; [b]but stay out of the man’s sight until he has finished eating and drinking. When he lies down, notice the place where he is lying, and [c]go and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”
