4:1 And
Boaz
hath
gone
up
to
the
gate,
and
sitteth
there,
and
lo,
the
redeemer
is
passing
by
of
whom
Boaz
had
spoken,
and
he
saith,
`Turn
aside,
sit
down
here,
such
a
one,
such
a
one;'
and
he
turneth
aside
and
sitteth
down.
4:2 And
he
taketh
ten
men
of
the
elders
of
the
city,
and
saith,
`Sit
down
here;'
and
they
sit
down.
4:3 And
he
saith
to
the
redeemer,
`A
portion
of
the
field
which
[is]
to
our
brother,
to
Elimelech,
hath
Naomi
sold,
who
hath
come
back
from
the
fields
of
Moab;
4:4 and
I
said,
I
uncover
thine
ear,
saying,
Buy
before
the
inhabitants,
and
before
the
elders
of
my
people;
if
thou
dost
redeem--redeem,
and
if
none
doth
redeem--declare
to
me,
and
I
know,
for
there
is
none
save
thee
to
redeem,
and
I
after
thee.'
And
he
saith,
I
redeem
[it]
.'
4:5 And
Boaz
saith,
`In
the
day
of
thy
buying
the
field
from
the
hand
of
Naomi,
then
from
Ruth
the
Moabitess,
wife
of
the
dead,
thou
hast
bought
[it]
,
to
raise
up
the
name
of
the
dead
over
his
inheritance.'
4:6 And
the
redeemer
saith,
`I
am
not
able
to
redeem
[it]
for
myself,
lest
I
destroy
mine
inheritance;
redeem
for
thyself--thou--my
right
of
redemption,
for
I
am
not
able
to
redeem.'
4:7 And
this
[is]
formerly
in
Israel
for
redemption
and
for
changing,
to
establish
anything:
a
man
hath
drawn
off
his
sandal,
and
given
[it]
to
his
neighbour,
and
this
[is]
the
testimony
in
Israel.
4:8 And
the
redeemer
saith
to
Boaz,
`Buy
[it]
for
thyself,'
and
draweth
off
his
sandal.
4:9 And
Boaz
saith
to
the
elders,
and
[to]
all
the
people,
`Witnesses
[are]
ye
to-day
that
I
have
bought
all
that
[is]
to
Elimelech,
and
all
that
[is]
to
Chilion
and
Mahlon,
from
the
hand
of
Naomi;
4:10 and
also
Ruth
the
Moabitess,
wife
of
Mahlon,
I
have
bought
to
myself
for
a
wife,
to
raise
up
the
name
of
the
dead
over
his
inheritance;
and
the
name
of
the
dead
is
not
cut
off
from
among
his
brethren,
and
from
the
gate
of
his
place;
witnesses
ye
[are]
to-day.'
4:11 And
all
the
people
who
[are]
in
the
gate
say--also
the
elders--`Witnesses!
Jehovah
make
the
woman
who
is
coming
in
unto
thy
house
as
Rachel
and
as
Leah,
both
of
whom
built
the
house
of
Israel;
and
do
thou
virtuously
in
Ephrathah,
and
proclaim
the
Name
in
Beth-Lehem;
4:12 and
let
thy
house
be
as
the
house
of
Pharez
(whom
Tamar
bare
to
Judah),
of
the
seed
which
Jehovah
doth
give
to
thee
of
this
young
woman.'
4:13 And
Boaz
taketh
Ruth,
and
she
becometh
his
wife,
and
he
goeth
in
unto
her,
and
Jehovah
giveth
to
her
conception,
and
she
beareth
a
son.
4:14 And
the
women
say
unto
Naomi,
`Blessed
[is]
Jehovah
who
hath
not
let
a
redeemer
cease
to
thee
to-day,
and
his
name
is
proclaimed
in
Israel,
4:15 and
he
hath
been
to
thee
for
a
restorer
of
life,
and
for
a
nourisher
of
thine
old
age,
for
thy
daughter-in-law
who
hath
loved
thee--who
is
better
to
thee
than
seven
sons--hath
borne
him.'
4:16 And
Naomi
taketh
the
lad,
and
layeth
him
in
her
bosom,
and
is
to
him
for
a
nurse;
4:17 and
the
neighbouring
women
give
to
him
a
name,
saying,
`There
hath
been
a
son
born
to
Naomi,'
and
they
call
his
name
Obed;
he
[is]
father
of
Jesse,
father
of
David.
4:18 And
these
are
genealogies
of
Pharez:
Pharez
begat
Hezron,
4:19 and
Hezron
begat
Ram,
and
Ram
begat
Amminidab,
4:20 and
Amminidab
begat
Nahshon,
and
Nahshon
begat
Salmon,
4:21 and
Salmon
begat
Boaz,
and
Boaz
begat
Obed,
4:22 and
Obed
begat
Jesse,
and
Jesse
begat
David.
