Ruth 4

1Then BoazH1162 went upH5927 to the gateH8179, and sat downH3427 there: and, behold, the kinsmanH1350 of whom BoazH1162 spokeH1696 cameH5674 by; to whom he saidH559, HoH1945, suchH6423 an oneH492! turn asideH5493, sit downH3427 here. And he turned asideH5493, and sat downH3427. 2And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, Sit ye downH3427 here. And they sat downH3427. 3And he saidH559 to the kinsmanH1350, NaomiH5281, that hast come againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellethH4376 a parcelH2513 of landH7704, which was our brotherH251 Elimelech’sH458: 4And I thoughtH559 to tellH1540H241 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 besidesH2108 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. 6And the kinsmanH1350 saidH559, I cannotH3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lest I marH7843 my 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 confirmingH6965 all thingsH1697; a manH376 took offH8025 his shoeH5275, and gaveH5414 it to his neighbourH7453: and this was a testimonyH8584 in IsraelH3478. 8Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 to BoazH1162, BuyH7069 it for thyself. So he drew offH8025 his shoeH5275.

9And BoazH1162 saidH559 to the eldersH2205, and to 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. 10Moreover RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, the wifeH802 of MahlonH4248, have I purchasedH7069 to be my wifeH802, to raise upH6965 the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 upon his inheritanceH5159, that the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 be not cut offH3772 from amongH5973 his brethrenH251, and from the gateH8179 of his placeH4725: ye are witnessesH5707 this dayH3117. 11And all the peopleH5971 that were in the gateH8179, and the eldersH2205, saidH559, We are witnessesH5707. The LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 that hath comeH935 into thy houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 builtH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: and doH6213 thou worthilyH2428 in EphratahH672, and be famousH7121H8034 in BethlehemH1035:23 12And let thy houseH1004 be like the houseH1004 of PharezH6557, whom TamarH8559 boreH3205 to JudahH3063, of the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee of this young womanH5291.

13So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she was his wifeH802: and when he went inH935 to her, the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 her conceptionH2032, and she boreH3205 a sonH1121. 14And the womenH802 saidH559 to NaomiH5281, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, who hath not leftH7673 thee this dayH3117 without a kinsmanH1350, that his nameH8034 may be famousH7121 in IsraelH3478.45 15And he shall be to thee a restorerH7725 of thy lifeH5315, and a nourisherH3557 of thy old ageH7872: for thy daughter in lawH3618, who lovethH157 thee, who is betterH2896 to thee than sevenH7651 sonsH1121, hath borneH3205 him.67 16And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206, and laidH7896 him in her bosomH2436, and became his nurseH539. 17And the women her neighboursH7934 gaveH7121 him a nameH8034, sayingH559, There is a sonH1121 bornH3205 to NaomiH5281; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 ObedH5744: he is the fatherH1 of JesseH3448, the fatherH1 of DavidH1732. 18Now these are the generationsH8435 of PharezH6557: PharezH6557 begatH3205 HezronH2696, 19And HezronH2696 begatH3205 RamH7410, and RamH7410 begatH3205 AmminadabH5992, 20And AmminadabH5992 begatH3205 NahshonH5177, and NahshonH5177 begatH3205 SalmonH8009,8 21And SalmonH8012 begatH3205 BoazH1162, and BoazH1162 begatH3205 ObedH5744, 22And ObedH5744 begatH3205 JesseH3448, and JesseH3448 begatH3205 DavidH1732.
