    Bill on Ruth 3 - 12 years ago
    Mindy, yes she sleeps with him, but not to have sex but to make it LOOK like they did. (As you imply, there's already quid pro quo, ie she's been presented a generous gift of grain). She's humbly putting herself in the position of a prostitute for the good of her mother-in-law, trusting that the goodness of Boaz will result in their full redemption. Even more, she's making HIM choose between marrying her or having a reputation of one who buys sex. Like Abraham "bargaining" with God over the number of righteous in Sodom, you can never go wrong "forcing" God to His promises of grace, mercy, and rescue. This is a "type" of Christ taking on the sin of the world to "force" God to forgive mankind, the ultimate "trick" that defeats Satan.
