Midrasch zu Rut 2:10
וַתִּפֹּל֙ עַל־פָּנֶ֔יהָ וַתִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ אָ֑רְצָה וַתֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֗יו מַדּוּעַ֩ מָצָ֨אתִי חֵ֤ן בְּעֵינֶ֙יךָ֙ לְהַכִּירֵ֔נִי וְאָּנֹכִ֖י נָכְרִיָּֽה׃
Da fiel sie auf ihr Angesicht und beugte sich zur Erde und sprach zu ihm: Weshalb habe ich Gunst gefunden in deinen Augen, dass du mich beachtest, da ich eine Ausländerin bin?

“She fell on her face, and prostrated herself to the ground, and said to him: Why have I found favor in your eyes, to acknowledge me, and I a foreigner?” (Ruth 2:10).
“She fell on her face, and prostrated herself to the ground…[to acknowledge me [lehakireni]],” it teaches that she prophesied that he was destined to be intimate with her [lehakirah] in the way of the world.
