Ruth 4:3-5

3And he saidH559 to the redeemerH1350, “NaomiH5281, who has returnedH7725 from the landH7704 of MoabH4124, has to sellH4376 the plotH2513 of landH7704 1whichH834 belonged to our brotherH251 ElimelechH458.

4So I thoughtH559 that I would 2informH241H1540 you, sayingH559, ‘3BuyH7069 it beforeH5048 those who are sittingH3427 here, and beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. IfH518 you will redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it; but ifH518 4not, tellH5046 me so that I may knowH3045; for 5thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 exceptH2108 you to redeemH1350 it, and I am afterH310 you.’” And he saidH559, “I will redeemH1350 it.”

5Then BoazH1162 saidH559, “On the dayH3117 you buyH7069 the fieldH7704 from the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, you must also acquireH7069 RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the widowH802 of the deceasedH4191, in order 6to raiseH6965 upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deceasedH4191 on his inheritanceH5159.”
