3:2 Grain was processed first by threshing, a procedure by which the grain was separated from the stalks. Then it was winnowed by throwing it up in the air so that the wind would carry away the outer shell of the grain called chaff, and the grain would fall back down to be collected.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠עַתָּ֗ה

and=now

Naomi’s rhetorical question in 3:1 gave the reason for the plan that she is about to tell to Ruth in verses 3:2–4. Use a connector in your language that marks what follows as a planned result of what was said before. Alternate translation: “Because of that, I have been thinking.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹ֥א בֹ֨עַז֙ מֹֽדַעְתָּ֔⁠נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖ית אֶת־נַעֲרוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

?,not Boˊaz kinsman,our which/who were DOM young_women,whose

Naomi uses the question form here to remind Ruth of something she had already told her (See 2:20). If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “as you know, Boaz, the one with whose young female workers you have been working, is our relative.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖ית אֶת־נַעֲרוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

which/who were DOM young_women,whose

The implication is that Boaz owned the fields where Ruth worked together with these young women, not that Boaz owned the young women. You could clarify this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the one who owns the fields where you have been working with the other female workers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הִנֵּה

see/lo/see!

Naomi is using the term Behold to focus Ruth's attention on what she is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Look”
