1 Then went 5927 0 Boaz 1162 up 5927 to the gate 8179, and sat him down 3427 there: and, behold, the kinsman 1350 of whom Boaz 1162 spake 1696 came 5674 by; unto whom he said 559, Ho 1945, such 6423 a one 492! turn aside 5493, sit down 3427 here. And he turned aside 5493, and sat down 3427.
2 And he took 3947 ten 6235 men 582 of the elders 2205 of the city 5892, and said 559, Sit ye down 3427 here. And they sat down 3427.
3 And he said 559 unto the kinsman 1350, Naomi 5281, that is come again 7725 out of the country 7704 of Moab 4124, selleth 4376 a parcel 2513 of land 7704, which was our brother 251 Elimelech's 458:
4 And I thought 559 to advertise 1540 241 thee, saying 559, Buy 7069 it before the inhabitants 3427, and before the elders 2205 of my people 5971. If thou wilt redeem 1350 it, redeem 1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeem 1350 it, then tell 5046 me, that I may know 3045: for there is none to redeem 1350 it beside 2108 thee; and I am after 310 thee. And he said 559, I will redeem 1350 it.
5 Then said 559 Boaz 1162, What day 3117 thou buyest 7069 the field 7704 of the hand 3027 of Naomi 5281, thou must buy 7069 it also of Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125, the wife 802 of the dead 4191, to raise up 6965 the name 8034 of the dead 4191 upon his inheritance 5159.
6 And the kinsman 1350 said 559, I cannot 3201 redeem 1350 it for myself, lest I mar 7843 mine own inheritance 5159: redeem 1350 thou my right 1353 to thyself; for I cannot 3201 redeem 1350 it.
7 Now this was the manner in former time 6440 in Israel 3478 concerning redeeming 1353 and concerning changing 8545, for to confirm 6965 all things 1697; a man 376 plucked off 8025 his shoe 5275, and gave 5414 it to his neighbour 7453: and this was a testimony 8584 in Israel 3478.
8 Therefore the kinsman 1350 said 559 unto Boaz 1162, Buy 7069 it for thee. So he drew off 8025 his shoe 5275.
9 And Boaz 1162 said 559 unto the elders 2205, and unto all the people 5971, Ye are witnesses 5707 this day 3117, that I have bought 7069 all that was Elimelech's 458, and all that was Chilion's 3630 and Mahlon's 4248, of the hand 3027 of Naomi 5281.
10 Moreover Ruth 7327 the Moabitess 4125, the wife 802 of Mahlon 4248, have I purchased 7069 to be my wife 802, to raise up 6965 the name 8034 of the dead 4191 upon his inheritance 5159, that the name 8034 of the dead 4191 be not cut off 3772 from among 5973 his brethren 251, and from the gate 8179 of his place 4725: ye are witnesses 5707 this day 3117.
11 And all the people 5971 that were in the gate 8179, and the elders 2205, said 559, We are witnesses 5707. The LORD 3068 make 5414 the woman 802 that is come 935 into thine house 1004 like Rachel 7354 and like Leah 3812, which two 8147 did build 1129 the house 1004 of Israel 3478: and do 6213 thou worthily 2428 in Ephratah 672, and be famous 7121 8034 in Bethlehem 1035:
12 And let thy house 1004 be like the house 1004 of Pharez 6557, whom Tamar 8559 bare 3205 unto Judah 3063, of the seed 2233 which the LORD 3068 shall give 5414 thee of this young woman 5291.
13 So Boaz 1162 took 3947 Ruth 7327, and she was his wife 802: and when he went in 935 unto her, the LORD 3068 gave 5414 her conception 2032, and she bare 3205 a son 1121.
14 And the women 802 said 559 unto Naomi 5281, Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, which hath not left 7673 thee this day 3117 without a kinsman 1350, that his name 8034 may be famous 7121 in Israel 3478.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer 7725 of thy life 5315, and a nourisher 3557 of thine old age 7872: for thy daughter in law 3618, which loveth 157 thee, which is better 2896 to thee than seven 7651 sons 1121, hath born 3205 him.
16 And Naomi 5281 took 3947 the child 3206, and laid 7896 it in her bosom 2436, and became nurse 539 unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours 7934 gave 7121 it a name 8034, saying 559, There is a son 1121 born 3205 to Naomi 5281; and they called 7121 his name 8034 Obed 5744: he is the father 1 of Jesse 3448, the father 1 of David 1732.
18 Now these are the generations 8435 of Pharez 6557: Pharez 6557 begat 3205 Hezron 2696,
19 And Hezron 2696 begat 3205 Ram 7410, and Ram 7410 begat 3205 Amminadab 5992,
20 And Amminadab 5992 begat 3205 Nahshon 5177, and Nahshon 5177 begat 3205 Salmon 8009,
21 And Salmon 8012 begat 3205 Boaz 1162, and Boaz 1162 begat 3205 Obed 5744,
22 And Obed 5744 begat 3205 Jesse 3448, and Jesse 3448 begat 3205 David 1732.
