Ruth 4:7-17
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 BethlehemH1035:12 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 IsraelH3478.34 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.56 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.
