A threshing floor is an open, flat area where workers could thresh and winnow grain. It would be outside of the city, which was high on a hill, and thus, one would go “down” to it. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of agricultural site, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [and leave the city to go to the flat place where he will thresh and winnow his grain]

לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּֽוֹת
to,eat and,to,drink
If it would be unnatural to express these details of a meal in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: [his supper]
3:3 take a bath (literally wash yourself): Ruth probably bathed herself with a cloth dipped in water (only the wealthy had facilities for immersing themselves). Bathing was not an everyday expectation; this was a special occasion.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
