Charles Ellicott Commentary Ruth 3:5

"And she said unto her, All that thou sayest I will do." — Ruth 3:5 (ASV)

I will do. — Ruth’s obedience here is an intelligent obedience. She knew the specific relationship Boaz had to her family, and the duties associated with that relationship (Ruth 2:20; Ruth 3:9). Thus, with obedient trust, implicitly but not blindly, she follows her mother-in-law’s orders; strong in conscious innocence, she risks the reproach that could accompany her duty.
