Ruth 4:2-5
2And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, Sit ye downH3427 here. And they sat downH3427.
3And he saidH559 unto the kinsmanH1350, NaomiH5281, that is come againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellethH4376 a parcelH2513 of landH7704, which was our brotherH251 Elimelech’sH458:
4And I thoughtH559 to advertiseH241H1540 thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 it before the inhabitantsH3427, and before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971. If thou wilt redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeemH1350 it, then tellH5046 me, that I may knowH3045: for there is none to redeemH1350 it besideH2108 thee; and I am afterH310 thee. And he saidH559, I will redeemH1350 it.1
5Then saidH559 BoazH1162, What dayH3117 thou buyestH7069 the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281, thou must buyH7069 it also of RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of the deadH4191, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159.
