Commentary on Ruth 3:2
Naomi identifies the kinsman: 'And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast?' She confirms Boaz's kinsman status, making him potential go'el (redeemer). The phrase 'Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor' provides timing and location. Winnowing occurred after harvest, using evening breezes to separate grain from chaff. Naomi's knowledge of Boaz's schedule shows careful observation and planning—she times Ruth's approach for appropriate moment when Boaz would be present but circumstances allowed private conversation about redemption.
