1 # Then went <05927> <00> Boaz <01162> up <05927> (8804) to the gate <08179>, and sat him down <03427> (8799) there: and, behold, the kinsman <01350> (8802) of whom Boaz <01162> spake <01696> (8765) came <05674> (8802) by; unto whom he said <0559> (8799), Ho <01945>, such <06423> a one <0492>! turn aside <05493> (8798), sit down <03427> (8798) here. And he turned aside <05493> (8799), and sat down <03427> (8799).
2 And he took <03947> (8799) ten <06235> men <0582> of the elders <02205> of the city <05892>, and said <0559> (8799), Sit ye down <03427> (8798) here. And they sat down <03427> (8799).
3 And he said <0559> (8799) unto the kinsman <01350> (8802), Naomi <05281>, that is come again <07725> (8804) out of the country <07704> of Moab <04124>, selleth <04376> (8804) a parcel <02513> of land <07704>, which was our brother <0251> Elimelech's <0458>:
4 And I thought <0559> (8804) to advertise <01540> (8799) <0241> thee, saying <0559> (8800) , Buy <07069> (8798) it before the inhabitants <03427> (8802), and before the elders <02205> of my people <05971>. If thou wilt redeem <01350> (8799) it, redeem <01350> (8798) it: but if thou wilt not redeem <01350> (8799) it, then tell <05046> (8685) me, that I may know <03045> (8799): for there is none to redeem <01350> (8800) it beside <02108> thee; and I am after <0310> thee. And he said <0559> (8799), I will redeem <01350> (8799) it .
5 Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162>, What day <03117> thou buyest <07069> (8800) the field <07704> of the hand <03027> of Naomi <05281>, thou must buy <07069> (8804) it also of Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125> , the wife <0802> of the dead <04191> (8801), to raise up <06965> (8687) the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) upon his inheritance <05159>.
6 And the kinsman <01350> (8802) said <0559> (8799), I cannot <03201> (8799) redeem <01350> (8800) it for myself, lest I mar <07843> (8686) mine own inheritance <05159>: redeem <01350> (8798) thou my right <01353> to thyself; for I cannot <03201> (8799) redeem <01350> (8800) it.
7 Now this was the manner in former time <06440> in Israel <03478> concerning redeeming <01353> and concerning changing <08545> , for to confirm <06965> (8763) all things <01697>; a man <0376> plucked off <08025> (8804) his shoe <05275> , and gave <05414> (8804) it to his neighbour <07453>: and this was a testimony <08584> in Israel <03478>.
8 Therefore the kinsman <01350> (8802) said <0559> (8799) unto Boaz <01162>, Buy <07069> (8798) it for thee. So he drew off <08025> (8799) his shoe <05275>.
9 # And Boaz <01162> said <0559> (8799) unto the elders <02205>, and unto all the people <05971>, Ye are witnesses <05707> this day <03117>, that I have bought <07069> (8804) all that was Elimelech's <0458>, and all that was Chilion's <03630> and Mahlon's <04248>, of the hand <03027> of Naomi <05281>.
10 Moreover Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125>, the wife <0802> of Mahlon <04248>, have I purchased <07069> (8804) to be my wife <0802>, to raise up <06965> (8687) the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) upon his inheritance <05159>, that the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) be not cut off <03772> (8735) from among <05973> his brethren <0251>, and from the gate <08179> of his place <04725>: ye are witnesses <05707> this day <03117>.
11 And all the people <05971> that were in the gate <08179>, and the elders <02205>, said <0559> (8799) , We are witnesses <05707>. The LORD <03068> make <05414> (8799) the woman <0802> that is come <0935> (8802) into thine house <01004> like Rachel <07354> and like Leah <03812>, which two <08147> did build <01129> (8804) the house <01004> of Israel <03478>: and do <06213> (8798) thou worthily <02428> in Ephratah <0672>, and be famous <07121> (8798) <08034> in Bethlehem <01035>:
12 And let thy house <01004> be like the house <01004> of Pharez <06557>, whom Tamar <08559> bare <03205> (8804) unto Judah <03063>, of the seed <02233> which the LORD <03068> shall give <05414> (8799) thee of this young woman <05291> .
13 # So Boaz <01162> took <03947> (8799) Ruth <07327>, and she was his wife <0802>: and when he went in <0935> (8799) unto her, the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8799) her conception <02032>, and she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>.
14 And the women <0802> said <0559> (8799) unto Naomi <05281>, Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068>, which hath not left <07673> (8689) thee this day <03117> without a kinsman <01350> (8802), that his name <08034> may be famous <07121> (8735) in Israel <03478>.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer <07725> (8688) of thy life <05315>, and a nourisher <03557> (8771) of thine old age <07872>: for thy daughter in law <03618>, which loveth <0157> (8804) thee, which is better <02896> to thee than seven <07651> sons <01121>, hath born <03205> (8804) him.
16 And Naomi <05281> took <03947> (8799) the child <03206>, and laid <07896> (8799) it in her bosom <02436>, and became nurse <0539> (8802) unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours <07934> gave <07121> (8799) it a name <08034>, saying <0559> (8800) , There is a son <01121> born <03205> (8795) to Naomi <05281>; and they called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Obed <05744>: he is the father <01> of Jesse <03448>, the father <01> of David <01732>.
18 Now these are the generations <08435> of Pharez <06557>: Pharez <06557> begat <03205> (8689) Hezron <02696>,
19 And Hezron <02696> begat <03205> (8689) Ram <07410>, and Ram <07410> begat <03205> (8689) Amminadab <05992>,
20 And Amminadab <05992> begat <03205> (8689) Nahshon <05177>, and Nahshon <05177> begat <03205> (8689) Salmon <08009>,
21 And Salmon <08012> begat <03205> (8689) Boaz <01162>, and Boaz <01162> begat <03205> (8689) Obed <05744>,
22 And Obed <05744> begat <03205> (8689) Jesse <03448>, and Jesse <03448> begat <03205> (8689) David <01732>.
