King James Version
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.
Then
went
Boaz up to the gate, and sat
him
down
there :
and, behold,
the kinsman
of whom Boaz spake
came
by;
unto
whom
he said
, Ho,
such
a
one!
turn aside, sit down here .
And he turned
aside ,
and sat
down.
And he taketh
ten men of the elders of the city, and saith
, `
Sit down here ;'
and they sit
down.
And he took
ten men of the elders of the city, and said
, Sit ye
down here .
And they sat
down.
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 ;
And he said
unto
the kinsman
, Naomi, that
is
come again
out
of
the country
of Moab ,
selleth
a
parcel
of
land,
which
was
our
brother
Elimelech's:
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 '
. '
And I thought
to
advertise
thee
, saying, Buy it
before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people .
If thou wilt
redeem it
, redeem
it:
but
if thou
wilt
not
redeem it,
then
tell
me, that
I may
know :
for there is none to redeem it
beside
thee;
and I am
after thee. And he said
, I will
redeem it.
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. '
Then
said
Boaz, What
day thou
buyest
the field of
the hand of Naomi, thou
must
buy
it
also
of
Ruth the Moabitess, the
wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon
his inheritance.
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. '
And the kinsman
said
, I cannot
redeem it for myself, lest I mar
mine own
inheritance :
redeem thou my right to
thyself;
for I cannot
redeem it
.
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.
Now
this was
the
manner
in former
time
in
Israel concerning
redeeming
and concerning
changing, for
to confirm
all
things;
a man plucked
off his shoe
, and gave
it to his neighbor:
and this was
a
testimony in Israel.
And
the redeemer
saith
to
Boaz, `
Buy `
it '
for thyself,'
and
draweth
off his sandal
.
Therefore
the kinsman
said
unto
Boaz, Buy it for thee.
So
he
drew
off his shoe
.
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 ;
And Boaz said
unto
the elders, and unto
all the people, Ye are
witnesses
this
day ,
that I have bought all that was
Elimelech's
, and all that was
Chilion's
and Mahlon's
, of
the hand of Naomi .
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. '
Moreover
Ruth the Moabitess, the
wife of Mahlon, have I
purchased
to be
my
wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon
his inheritance ,
that
the name of the dead be
not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place :
ye are witnesses
this
day.
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;
And all the people that
were
in the gate ,
and
the elders ,
said,
We
are
witnesses .
The
LORD
make the woman that
is come
into
thine
house like
Rachel and like
Leah, which
two
did
build
the house of Israel :
and do thou worthily
in Ephratah
, and be
famous
in Bethlehem:
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. '
And let thy house be like
the house of Pharez ,
whom Tamar bare unto
Judah, of the seed which the
LORD
shall
give thee of this young woman.
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.
So
Boaz took
Ruth, and she was
his wife :
and when
he went
in unto her, the
LORD
gave
her conception, and she bare
a son.
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 ,
And the women said
unto Naomi, Blessed be
the
LORD,
which
hath not left
thee this
day without
a
kinsman
, that
his name may
be
famous
in Israel .
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. '
And he shall
be
unto
thee a restorer of thy
life, and a nourisher of thine old age :
for thy daughter in law ,
which
loveth
thee ,
which
is better to thee than seven sons ,
hath born
him.
And Naomi taketh
the lad
, and layeth
him
in her bosom, and is
to
him
for
a
nurse ;
And Naomi took
the child
, and laid
it
in her bosom, and became
nurse unto
it.
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.
And the women her
neighbors
gave
it
a name, saying, There is
a son born to Naomi ;
and they called
his name Obed :
he is the
father of Jesse, the
father of David.
And
these are genealogies
of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Now

of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab
,
And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab
,

begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
