Some ThoughtsLaying down at his feet may have been culturally meaningful and isn't a model for us. Laying next to him (rather than at his feet) would have been immodest/forward, but laying at his feet was humble and patient. / Since Boaz's mother was Rahab (a non-Israelite adopted for her faith back in JOS 2) it makes extra sense that he'd be so open to marry another faithful gentle woman (MT 1:5) even though generally there was DT 7:3-4.
