Under the cover of night, a daring plan unfolds on the threshing floor as Naomi instructs Ruth on how to approach Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer. Understanding the cultural significance of this moment, Ruth prepares herself carefully and approaches Boaz while he sleeps. With a bold request, she asks him to spread his cloak over her, symbolizing a plea for protection and marriage. Boaz, moved by Ruth's loyalty and virtue, responds with grace, recognizing her character and the risk she has taken. He promises to fulfill the role of redeemer, but first must address a closer relative's claim. This chapter highlights themes of trust, courage, and the delicate balance between human initiative and divine providence. Ruth's actions not only reflect her faith but also pave the way for a redemptive story that intertwines with God's greater plan for Israel.
