Ruth 4:7-11
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. 10MoreoverH1571, I have acquiredH7069 RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, Mahlon’sH4248 widowH802, as my wifeH802, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deceasedH4191 throughH5921 his inheritanceH5159, so that hisH4191 nameH8034 will notH3808 disappearH3772 from amongH5973 his brothersH251 or from the gateH8179 of his homeH4725. YouH859 are witnesses todayH5707H3117.”
11“We are witnessesH5707,” saidH559 the eldersH2205 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 at the gateH8179. “May the LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 enteringH935H413 your homeH1004 like RachelH7354 and LeahH3812, whoH834 together built upH1129H8147 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. May you beH6213 prosperousH2428 in EphrathahH672 and famousH7121H8034 in BethlehemH1035.
