Ruth 3:2      Ruth 3:4

Ruth 3:3

Wash yourself, anoint yourself [with sweet-smelling oil] and dress [put away your mourning clothes].
[Here the general word for clothing (Hebr. simla) is used.The same sequence of ”­washing, anointing and clothing” is found in 2 Sam. 12:20 where David interrupts a time of mourning. There is also a parallel with God’s dealings with Jerusalem, where God spreads his mantle, washes, anoints and clothes his bride-to-be, see Ezek. 16:8–14. Naomi now probably asks Ruth to change her mourning clothes into ­regular clothes, and probably also her best dress. We do not know how long Ruth wore mourning clothes, but in the example of Tamar it is many years, see Gen. 38:14, 19. If so, she wore mourning clothes while working in the field. This may explain why Boaz made no effort to fulfill his role as redeemer, but waited for her to be ready.]
Then go down to the threshing floor [outside Bethlehem], but [be careful] do not let him see you until he has finished his meal (eating and drinking).
