Then wentH5927 BoazH1162 upH5927 to the gateH8179, and sat him downH3427 there: and, behold, the kinsmanH1350 of whom BoazH1162 spakeH1696 cameH5674 by; unto whom he saidH559, HoH1945, suchH6423 a oneH492! turn asideH5493, sit downH3427 here. And he turned asideH5493, and sat downH3427.
And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and saidH559, Sit ye downH3427 here. And they sat downH3427.
And he saidH559 unto the kinsmanH1350, NaomiH5281, that is come againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, sellethH4376 a parcelH2513 of landH7704, which was our brotherH251 Elimelech'sH458:
And I thoughtH559 to advertiseH1540+H241 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 besideH2108 thee; and I am afterH310 thee. And he saidH559, I will redeemH1350 it. {I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear}
Then 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.
And 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.
Now 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.
Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 unto BoazH1162, BuyH7069 it for thee. So he drew offH8025 his shoeH5275.
And 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.
Moreover 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.
And all the peopleH5971 that were in the gateH8179, and the eldersH2205, saidH559, We are witnessesH5707. The LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 that is comeH935 into thine houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like LeahH3812, which twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: and doH6213 thou worthilyH2428 in EphratahH672, and be famousH7121+H8034 in BethlehemH1035: {do thou…: or, get thee riches, or, power} {be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name}
And let thy houseH1004 be like the houseH1004 of PharezH6557, whom TamarH8559 bareH3205 unto JudahH3063, of the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee of this young womanH5291.
So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she was his wifeH802: and when he went inH935 unto her, the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 her conceptionH2032, and she bareH3205 a sonH1121.
And the womenH802 saidH559 unto NaomiH5281, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, which hath not leftH7673 thee this dayH3117 without a kinsmanH1350, that his nameH8034 may be famousH7121 in IsraelH3478. {left…: Heb. caused to cease unto thee} {kinsman: or, redeemer}
And he shall be unto thee a restorerH7725 of thy lifeH5315, and a nourisherH3557 of thine old ageH7872: for thy daughter in lawH3618, which lovethH157 thee, which is betterH2896 to thee than sevenH7651 sonsH1121, hath bornH3205 him. {a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish} {thine…: Heb. thy gray hairs}
And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206, and laidH7896 it in her bosomH2436, and became nurseH539 unto it.
And the women her neighboursH7934 gaveH7121 it 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.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of PharezH6557: PharezH6557 begatH3205 HezronH2696,
And HezronH2696 begatH3205 RamH7410, and RamH7410 begatH3205 AmminadabH5992,
And AmminadabH5992 begatH3205 NahshonH5177, and NahshonH5177 begatH3205 SalmonH8009, {Salmon: or, Salmah}
And SalmonH8012 begatH3205 BoazH1162, and BoazH1162 begatH3205 ObedH5744,
And ObedH5744 begatH3205 JesseH3448, and JesseH3448 begatH3205 DavidH1732.
