Ruth 4:9-13
9And BoazH1162 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, and unto all the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117, that I have boughtH7069 all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281. 10Moreover RuthH7327 the Moabitess, the wifeH802 of MahlonH4248, have I purchased to be my wifeH802, to raiseH6965 up the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159, that the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 be not cutH3772 off from among his brethren, and from the gateH8179 of his placeH4725: ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117. 11And all the peopleH5971 that were in the gateH8179, and the eldersH2205, saidH559, We are witnessesH5707. Jehovah makeH5414 the womanH802 that is comeH935 into thy houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: and do thou worthily in EphrathahH672, and be famous in Beth-lehem: 12and let thy houseH1004 beH1961 like the houseH1004 of PerezH6557, whom TamarH8559 bare unto JudahH3063, of the seedH2233 which Jehovah shall giveH5414 thee of this youngH5291 womanH5291.
13So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she became his wifeH802; and he wentH935 in unto her, and Jehovah gaveH5414 her conceptionH2032, and she bare a sonH1121.
