Ruth 3:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 So she lay down at his feet until morning. She got up before it was light enough for anyone to recognize a person.
But Boaz thought, “No one should know that a woman came to the threshing floor.” 15 So he said, “Come here and hold out the shawl that you are wearing.” So she held it out. He measured out six scoops[a] of barley into it for her to carry home. Then he[b] returned to town.
16 When Ruth came back to her mother-in-law, Naomi said, “How did it turn out, my daughter?”
Then Ruth told her all that the man had done for her.

Then she got up before one person could recognize another, for he had said, “No one should know that the woman came to the threshing floor.” 15 He said, “Bring the cloak that you have on and hold it out.” She held it out, and he measured out six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Then she[a] went into town.
16 She came to her mother-in-law, who said, “How are you, my daughter?”
So Ruth told her everything the man had done for her.
