Ruth 3:5

Ruth answered Naomi, ”Whatever you say, I will do.”
[The threshing site was usually located outside the cities that were protected by walls. To guard the grain and wheat being threshed, the workers slept in place.The author uses words that are ambiguous; a woman putting on perfume and going to bed with a man at night may seem strange to a modern reader. This is not helped by the fact that Ruth is a Moabite, her family is descended from Lot’s eldest daughter who had an incestuous relationship with her father after he ”ate and drank”, see Gen. 19:30–38.The author deliberately leads the reader to almost expect Ruth to follow Tamar’s example in Gen. 38:13–16, who in a similar situation sells herself as a prostitute.Words and expressions can be interpreted sexually, but need not be. Instead, the text shows the high morals and good character of Boaz and Ruth, something that has also been built up in the first two chapters of the book, and also here, see verse 11. This, together with details such as the mantle flap, see verse 9, and the Jewish chalitzah custom, where the man’s foot and shoe have an important role, see Ruth 4:7, shows how the whole event is about Ruth following the Jewish custom to show that she is ready to marry, if Boaz wants to.]
