4Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.H5927H1162H5927H8179H3427H1350H1162H1696H5674H559H1945H6423H492H5493H3427H5493H34272And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.H3947H6235H582H2205H5892H559H3427H34273And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:H559H1350H5281H7725H7704H4124H4376H2513H7704H251H4584And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. / I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine earH559H1540H241H559H7069H3427H2205H5971H1350H1350H1350H5046H3045H1350H2108H310H559H13505Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.H559H1162H3117H7069H7704H3027H5281H7069H7327H4125H802H4191H6965H8034H4191H51596And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.H1350H559H3201H1350H7843H5159H1350H1353H3201H13507Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.H6440H3478H1353H8545H6965H1697H376H8025H5275H5414H7453H8584H34788Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.H1350H559H1162H7069H8025H52759And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.H1162H559H2205H5971H5707H3117H7069H458H3630H4248H3027H528110Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.H7327H4125H802H4248H7069H802H6965H8034H4191H5159H8034H4191H3772H5973H251H8179H4725H5707H311711And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: / do thou…: or, get thee riches, or, power / be famous: Heb. proclaim thy nameH5971H8179H2205H559H5707H3068H5414H802H935H1004H7354H3812H8147H1129H1004H3478H6213H2428H672H7121H8034H103512And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.H1004H1004H6557H8559H3205H3063H2233H3068H5414H529113So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.H1162H3947H7327H802H935H3068H5414H2032H3205H112114And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. / left…: Heb. caused to cease unto thee / kinsman: or, redeemerH802H559H5281H1288H3068H7673H3117H1350H8034H7121H347815And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. / a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish / thine…: Heb. thy gray hairsH7725H5315H3557H7872H3618H157H2896H7651H1121H320516And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.H5281H3947H3206H7896H2436H53917And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.H7934H7121H8034H559H1121H3205H5281H7121H8034H5744H1H3448H1H173218Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,H8435H6557H6557H3205H269619And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,H2696H3205H7410H7410H3205H599220And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, / Salmon: or, SalmahH5992H3205H5177H5177H3205H800921And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,H8012H3205H1162H1162H3205H574422And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.H5744H3205H3448H3448H3205H1732
