Ruth 3:4

"Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking."

Key Reflection

This verse instructs Ruth to prepare herself ritually by washing and anointing, symbolizing purification and readiness. However, remaining hidden until Boaz finishes his meal signifies humility and trust, allowing divine timing and providence to guide the encounter.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
