RU-4:1 Then 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.
RU-4:2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said,
Sit ye down
here. And they sat down.
RU-4:3 And 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:
RU-4:4 And 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].
RU-4:5 Then 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.
RU-4:6 And 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].
RU-4:7 Now 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.
RU-4:8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] for thee.
So he drew
off his shoe.
RU-4:9 And 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.
RU-4:10 Moreover 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.
RU-4:11 And 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:
RU-4:12 And 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.
RU-4:13 So 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.
RU-4:14 And 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.
RU-4:15 And 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 borne him.
RU-4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and
became nurse
unto it.
RU-4:17 And 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.
RU-4:18 Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat
Hezron,
RU-4:19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
RU-4:20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
RU-4:21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
RU-4:22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
