Exegesis
The Hebrew opens with the imperative lini {לִ֣ינִי | lî-nî} ‘stay’, addressing Ruth directly.
In context — Ruth 3:13
Stay the night, and in the morning, if he will redeem you, good—let him redeem ; but if he does not desire to redeem you, then I myself will redeem you—by the life of the LORD . Lie down until the morning.
