Today's reading hints at the romance between Boaz and Ruth. Despite the fact that she is a poor foreigner, the wealthy landowner protects and provides for Ruth. Ruth, following her mother-in-law's advice, uses her womanly powers to convince Boaz to make a proposal for her hand -- in fact, one might say that she even seduces him one night.
