Commentary on Ruth 3:14
Dawn departure: 'And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another'. Ruth's morning departure before dawn prevented anyone recognizing her, protecting both their reputations. 'And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor'. Boaz's concern for Ruth's reputation shows protective care beyond legal obligation. While their encounter was proper, he knew appearances could be misinterpreted. His active protection of her honor demonstrates godly masculinity—using strength to shield rather than exploit the vulnerable.
