Chapter 4

1 Then went5927 Boaz1162 up to the gate,8179 and sat3427 him down there:8033 and, behold,2009 the kinsman1350 of whom834 Boaz1162 spoke1696 came5674 by; to whom he said,559 Ho, such6423 a one!492 turn5493 aside, sit3427 down here.6311 And he turned5493 aside, and sat3427 down.

2 And he took3947 ten6235 men582 of the elders2205 of the city,5892 and said,559 Sit3427 you down here.6311 And they sat3427 down.

3 And he said559 to the kinsman,1350 Naomi,5281 that is come7725 again7725 out of the country7704 of Moab,4124 sells4376 a parcel2513 of land,7704 which834 was our brother251 Elimelech's:458

4 And I thought559 to advertise1540 241 you, saying,559 Buy7069 it before5048 the inhabitants,3427 and before5048 the elders2205 of my people.5971 If518 you will redeem1350 it, redeem1350 it: but if518 you will not redeem1350 it, then tell5046 me, that I may know:3045 for there is none369 to redeem1350 it beside2108 you; and I am after310 you. And he said,559 I will redeem1350 it.

5 Then said559 Boaz,1162 What day3117 you buy7069 the field7704 of the hand3027 of Naomi,5281 you must buy7069 it also of Ruth7327 the Moabitess,4125 the wife802 of the dead,4191 to raise6965 up the name8034 of the dead4191 on his inheritance.5159

6 And the kinsman1350 said,559 I cannot3808 3201 redeem1350 it for myself, lest6435 I mar7843 my own inheritance:5159 redeem1350 you my right1353 to yourself; for I cannot3808 3201 redeem1350 it.

7 Now this2063 was the manner in former6440 time6440 in Israel3478 concerning5921 redeeming1353 and concerning5921 changing,8545 for to confirm6965 all3605 things;1697 a man376 plucked8025 off his shoe,5275 and gave5414 it to his neighbor:7453 and this2063 was a testimony8584 in Israel.3478

8 Therefore the kinsman1350 said559 to Boaz,1162 Buy7069 it for you. So he drew8025 off his shoe.5275

9 And Boaz1162 said559 to the elders,2205 and to all3605 the people,5971 You are witnesses5707 this day,3117 that I have bought7069 all3605 that was Elimelech's,458 and all3605 that was Chilion's3630 and Mahlon's,4248 of the hand3027 of Naomi.5281

10 Moreover1571 Ruth7327 the Moabitess,4125 the wife802 of Mahlon,4248 have I purchased7069 to be my wife,802 to raise6965 up the name8034 of the dead4191 on his inheritance,5159 that the name8034 of the dead4191 be not cut3772 off from among5973 his brothers,251 and from the gate8179 of his place:4725 you are witnesses5707 this day.3117

11 And all3605 the people5971 that were in the gate,8179 and the elders,2205 said,559 We are witnesses.5707 The LORD3068 make5414 the woman802 that is come935 into413 your house1004 like Rachel7354 and like Leah,3812 which834 two8147 did build1129 the house1004 of Israel:3478 and do6213 you worthily2428 in Ephratah,672 and be famous7121 8034 in Bethlehem:1035

12 And let your house1004 be like the house1004 of Pharez,6557 whom834 Tamar8559 bore3205 to Judah,3063 of the seed2233 which834 the LORD3068 shall give5414 you of this2063 young5291 woman.5291

13 So Boaz1162 took3947 Ruth,7327 and she was his wife:802 and when he went935 in to her, the LORD3068 gave5414 her conception,2032 and she bore3205 a son.1121

14 And the women802 said559 to Naomi,5281 Blessed1288 be the LORD,3068 which834 has not left7673 you this day3117 without a kinsman, that his name8034 may be famous7121 in Israel.3478

15 And he shall be to you a restorer7725 of your life,5315 and a nourisher3557 of your old7872 age:7872 for your daughter3618 in law,3618 which834 loves157 you, which834 1931 is better2896 to you than seven7651 sons,1121 has born3205 him.

16 And Naomi5281 took3947 the child,3206 and laid7896 it in her bosom,2436 and became1961 nurse539 to it.

17 And the women her neighbors7934 gave7121 it a name,8034 saying,559 There is a son1121 born3205 to Naomi;5281 and they called7121 his name8034 Obed:5744 he is the father1 of Jesse,3448 the father1 of David.1732

18 Now these428 are the generations8435 of Pharez:6557 Pharez6557 begat3205 Hezron,2696

19 And Hezron2696 begat3205 Ram,7410 and Ram7410 begat3205 Amminadab,5992

20 And Amminadab5992 begat3205 Nahshon,5177 and Nahshon5177 begat3205 Salmon,8009

21 And Salmon8012 begat3205 Boaz,1162 and Boaz1162 begat3205 Obed,5744

22 And Obed5744 begat3205 Jesse,3448 and Jesse3448 begat3205 David.1732
