Ruth 4:5-9

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.

6And the kinsmanH1350 saidH559, I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lest I marH7843 mine own inheritanceH5159: redeemH1350 thou my rightH1353 to thyself; for I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it. 7Now this was the manner in former timeH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerning redeemingH1353 and concerning changingH8545, for to confirmH6965 all thingsH1697; a manH376 plucked offH8025 his shoeH5275, and gaveH5414 it to his neighbourH7453: and this was a testimonyH8584 in IsraelH3478. 8Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 unto BoazH1162, BuyH7069 it for thee. So he drew offH8025 his shoeH5275.

9And BoazH1162 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, and unto all the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117, that I have boughtH7069 all that was Elimelech’sH458, and all that was Chilion’sH3630 and Mahlon’sH4248, of the handH3027 of NaomiH5281.
