Ruth 3:14

And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

KJV

Dormivit itaque ad pedes ejus, usque ad noctis abscessum. Surrexit itaque antequam homines se cognoscerent mutuo, et dixit Booz : Cave ne quis noverit quod huc veneris.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη πρὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἕως πρωί· ἡ δὲ ἀνέστη πρὸ τοῦ ἐπιγνῶναι ἄνδρα τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Βόος Μὴ γνωσθήτω ὅτι ἦλθεν γυνὴ εἰς τὴν ἅλωνα.

LXX

And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.
