Ruth 4:3-9

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.
