Ruth 4:3-9

3And he saidH559 to the kinsman-redeemerH1350, “NaomiH5281, who has returnedH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124, is sellingH4376 the pieceH2513 of landH7704 thatH834 belonged to our brotherH251 ElimelechH458. 4IH589 thoughtH559 I should informH1540 youH241 thatH559 you may buy it backH7069 in the presence ofH5048 those seated hereH3427 and in the presence ofH5048 the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. IfH518 you want to redeem itH1350, do soH1350. But if youH5181 will notH3808 redeemH1350 it, tellH5046 me so I may knowH3045, becauseH3588 there is no oneH369 but youH2108 to redeemH1350 it, and IH595 am next after youH310.”

“IH595 will redeemH1350 it,” he repliedH559.

5Then BoazH1162 saidH559, “On the dayH3117 you buyH7069 the landH7704 fromH3027 NaomiH5281 and also fromH854 RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, you must also acquireH7069 the widowH802 of the deceasedH4191 in order to raiseH6965 up the nameH8034 of the deceasedH4191 onH5921 his inheritanceH5159.”

6The kinsman-redeemerH1350 repliedH559, “I cannotH3808H3201 redeem itH1350 myself, orH6435 I would jeopardizeH7843 my own inheritanceH5159. Take my right of redemptionH1353H1350H859, becauseH3588 I cannotH3808H3201 redeem itH1350.”

7NowH2063 in former timesH6440 in IsraelH3478, concerningH5921 the redemptionH1353H5921 or exchange of propertyH8545, to make anyH3605 matterH1697 legally bindingH6965 a manH376 would removeH8025 his sandalH5275 and give itH5414 to the other partyH7453, and thisH2063 was a confirmationH8584 in IsraelH3478. 8So the kinsman-redeemerH1350 removedH8025 his sandalH5275 and saidH559 to BoazH1162, “BuyH7069 it for yourself.”

9At this, BoazH1162 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 and allH3605 the peopleH5971, “YouH859 are witnessesH5707 todayH3117 thatH3588 I am buyingH7069 fromH3027 NaomiH5281 allH3605 thatH834 belonged to ElimelechH458, ChilionH3630, and MahlonH4248.
