Ruth 4

1And BoazH1162 wentH5927 up to the gateH8179, and satH3427 downH3427 there. And behold, he that had the right of redemption, of whom BoazH1162 had spokenH1696, cameH5927 by. And he saidH559, Thou, such a oneH834, turnH5493 asideH5493, sitH3427 down hereH6311. And he turnedH5493 asideH5493 and satH3427 downH3427. 2And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, SitH3427 down hereH6311. And they satH3427 downH3427. 3And he saidH559 to him that had the right of redemption: NaomiH5281, who is come backH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellsH4376 the allotment that was our brotherH251 Elimelech's. 4And I thought I would apprise thee of it and sayH559, BuyH7069 [it] in the presence of the inhabitantsH3427, and in the presence of the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. If thou wilt redeemH1350 [it], redeemH1350; but if thou wilt not redeemH1350, tellH5046 me, that I may knowH3045; for there is none to redeemH1350 besides thee; and I am after thee. And he saidH559, I will redeemH1350 [it]. 5And BoazH1162 saidH559, On the dayH3117 thou buyest the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, thou must buyH7069 [it] also of RuthH7327 the Moabitess, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191, to raiseH6965 up the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159. 6And he that had the rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 saidH559, I cannot redeemH1350 [it] for myself, lestH6435 I mar mine own inheritanceH5159. RedeemH1350 thou for thyself what I should redeemH1350, for I cannot redeemH1350 [it]. 7Now this [was the custom] in former time in IsraelH3478 concerning redemptionH1353 and concerning exchange, to confirm the whole matterH1697: a manH376 drewH8025 off his sandalH5275, and gaveH5414 it to his neighbour, and this was the [mode of] attestation in IsraelH3478. 8And he that had the right of redemption saidH559 to BoazH1162, BuyH7069 for thyself; and he drewH8025 off his sandalH5275. 9And BoazH1162 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 and 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 cometh into thy houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and acquire power in Ephratah, and makeH5414 thyself a nameH8034 in Bethlehem; 12and let thy houseH1004 becomeH1961 like the houseH1004 of Pherez, whom TamarH8559 boreH3205 to JudahH3063, of the seedH2233 which Jehovah shall giveH5414 thee of this youngH5291 womanH5291. 13And BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she became his wifeH802; and he wentH935 in unto her, and Jehovah gaveH5414 her conceptionH2032, and she boreH3205 a sonH1121. 14And the womenH802 saidH559 to NaomiH5281, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah who hath not left thee this dayH3117 without one that has the right of redemption, and may his nameH8034 be famous in IsraelH3478! 15And he shall beH1961 to thee a restorer of thy lifeH5315, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law who lovesH157 thee, who is betterH2896 to thee than sevenH7651 sonsH1121, has borneH3205 him. 16And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206, and laid it in her bosomH2436, and becameH1961 nurseH539 to it. 17And the women [her] neighbours gaveH3205 it a nameH8034, sayingH559, There is a sonH1121 bornH3205 to NaomiH5281. And they calledH7121 his nameH8034 ObedH5744. He is the fatherH1 of JesseH3448, the fatherH1 of DavidH1732. 18Now these are the generationsH8435 of Pherez. Pherez begot HezronH2696, 19and HezronH2696 begot RamH7410, and RamH7410 begot AmminadabH5992, 20and AmminadabH5992 begot NahshonH5177, and NahshonH5177 begot Salmon, 21and Salmon begot BoazH1162, and BoazH1162 begot ObedH5744, 22and ObedH5744 begot JesseH3448, and JesseH3448 begot DavidH1732.
