Verse 4 is found in chapter 3 of Ruth. Naomi tells Ruth to observe where Boaz lies down and then lie at his feet. The procedure requires prudence and discretion. The narrative does not present the action as a sexual relationship, but as a symbolic request for protection and marriage that Ruth will immediately explain when Boaz wakes.
