Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּיטַ֣ב לִבּ֔וֹ
and,merry his/its=heart
Here heart stands for “emotions” or “disposition.” Boaz’s emotions or feelings were good. This does not imply that Boaz was drunk. Alternate translation: “and he felt good” or “and he was in a good mood”
וַתָּבֹ֣א בַלָּ֔ט
and,came in/on/at/with,quietly
Alternate translation: “Then she sneaked in” or “Then she came in so quietly that no one could hear her”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וַתְּגַ֥ל מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו
and,uncovered feet,his
See how you translated feet in 3:4. Alternate translation: “and removed the covering from his legs”
3:7 he lay down: The owner slept at the threshing floor to deter petty theft.

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.
