Ruth 4:3-4

3Then he saidH559 to the 1closestH1350 relativeH1350, “NaomiH5281, who has comeH7725 backH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124, has to sellH4376 the pieceH2513 of landH7704 2whichH834 belonged to our brotherH251 ElimelechH458.

4So I thoughtH559 to 3informH241H1540 you, sayingH559, ‘4BuyH7069 it beforeH5048 those who are sittingH3427 here, and beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. IfH518 you will redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it; but ifH518 5not, tellH5046 me that I may knowH3045; for 6thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 but you to redeemH1350 it, and I am afterH310 you.’” And he saidH559, “I will redeemH1350 it.”
