Amplified Bible Help
4THEN BOAZ went up to the city's gate and sat down there, and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came by. He said to him, Ho! Turn aside and sit down here. So he turned aside and sat down.H5927H1162H5927H8179H3427H1350H1162H1696H5674H559H1945H6423H492H5493H3427H5493H3427 2And Boaz took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.H3947H6235H582H2205H5892H559H3427H3427 3And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, who has returned from the country of Moab, has sold the parcel of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.H559H1350H5281H7725H7704H4124H4376H2513H7704H251H458 4And I thought to let you hear of it, saying, Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then say so, that I may know; for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I am [next of kin] after you. And he said, I will redeem it.H559H1540H241H559H7069H3427H2205H5971H1350H1350H1350H5046H3045H1350H2108H310H559H1350 5Then Boaz said, The day you buy the field of Naomi, you must buy also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the dead man, to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance.H559H1162H3117H7069H7704H3027H5281H7069H7327H4125H802H4191H6965H8034H4191H5159 6And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest [by marrying a Moabitess] I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.H1350H559H3201H1350H7843H5159H1350H1353H3201H1350 7Now formerly in Israel this was the custom concerning redeeming and exchanging. To confirm a transaction, a man pulled off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the way of attesting in Israel.H6440H3478H1353H8545H6965H1697H376H8025H5275H5414H7453H8584H3478 8Therefore, when the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself, he pulled off his sandal.H1350H559H1162H7069H8025H5275 9And Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's from the hand of Naomi.H1162H559H2205H5971H5707H3117H7069H458H3630H4248H3027H5281 10Also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his birthplace. You are witnesses this day.H7327H4125H802H4248H7069H802H6965H8034H4191H5159H8034H4191H3772H5973H251H8179H4725H5707H3117 11And all the people at the gate and the elders said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the household of Israel. May you do worthily {and} get wealth (power) in Ephratah and be famous in Bethlehem.H5971H8179H2205H559H5707H3068H5414H802H935H1004H7354H3812H8147H1129H1004H3478H6213H2428H672H7121H8034H1035 12And let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the Lord will give you by this young woman.H1004H1004H6557H8559H3205H3063H2233H3068H5414H5291 13So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and the Lord caused her to conceive, and she bore a son.H1162H3947H7327H802H935H3068H5414H2032H3205H1121 14And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, Who has not left you this day without a close kinsman, and may his name be famous in Israel.H802H559H5281H1288H3068H7673H3117H1350H8034H7121H3478 15And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher {and} supporter in your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.H7725H5315H3557H7872H3618H157H2896H7651H1121H3205 16Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom and became his nurse.H5281H3947H3206H7896H2436H539 17And her neighbor women gave him a name, saying, A son is born to Naomi. They named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David [the ancestor of Jesus Christ].H7934H7121H8034H559H1121H3205H5281H7121H8034H5744H1H3448H1H1732 18Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,H8435H6557H6557H3205H2696 19Hezron of Ram, Ram of Amminadab,H2696H3205H7410H7410H3205H5992 20Amminadab of Nahshon, Nahshon of Salmon,H5992H3205H5177H5177H3205H8009 21Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed,H8012H3205H1162H1162H3205H5744 22Obed of Jesse, and Jesse of David [the ancestor of Jesus Christ].H5744H3205H3448H3448H3205H1732
