Ruth 3:7
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

Ruth 3:7 belongs to the beautiful story of Ruth, four brief and wonderfully interesting chapters telling a little pastoral tale of the time of the judges. The book was probably written by Samuel, or in the early days of David, perhaps by Nathan the prophet. The verse describes Ruth coming quietly to Boaz after he had eaten and drunk and lain down beside the heap of grain.
Ruth acts in obedience to Naomi's instructions to call Boaz's attention to his duty as Goel, the nearest kinsman, toward her deceased husband. Boaz is willing to assume that kinsman obligation even though a nearer kinsman holds the prior right. The near kinsman in the chapter is a type of Christ. The story closes by bringing out the ancestry of the Lord Jesus, into which Ruth the Moabite woman is brought.
