Ruth 4:5-10

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.
