Ruth 3:14

And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

Ruth 3:14 stands within the brief, beautiful pastoral story of Ruth. It is told in four short and deeply interesting chapters. The whole tale is set in the time of the judges. The book was written by Samuel, or in the early days of David by Nathan the prophet. The story closes by bringing out the ancestry of the Lord Jesus, into which Ruth, a Moabite woman, is brought, and in the account containing this verse the near kinsman with Ruth is a type of Christ.
