Dual Panel1Then went <05927> (0) Boaz <01162> up <05927> (8804) to the gate <08179>_, and sat him down <03427> (8799) there: and, behold, the kinsman <01350> (8802) of whom Boaz <01162> spake <01696> (8765) came <05674> (8802) by; unto whom he said <0559> (8799)_, Ho <01945>_, such <06423> a one <0492>_! turn aside <05493> (8798)_, sit down <03427> (8798) here. And he turned aside <05493> (8799)_, and sat down <03427> (8799)_.
2And he took <03947> (8799) ten <06235> men <0582> of the elders <02205> of the city <05892>_, and said <0559> (8799)_, Sit ye down <03427> (8798) here. And they sat down <03427> (8799)_.
3And he said <0559> (8799) unto the kinsman <01350> (8802)_, Naomi <05281>_, that is come again <07725> (8804) out of the country <07704> of Moab <04124>_, selleth <04376> (8804) a parcel <02513> of land <07704>_, which [was] our brother <0251> Elimelech's <0458>_:
4And I thought <0559> (8804) to advertise <01540> (8799) <0241> thee, saying <0559> (8800)_, Buy <07069> (8798) [it] before the inhabitants <03427> (8802)_, and before the elders <02205> of my people <05971>_. If thou wilt redeem <01350> (8799) [it], redeem <01350> (8798) [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem <01350> (8799) [it, then] tell <05046> (8685) me, that I may know <03045> (8799)_: for [there is] none to redeem <01350> (8800) [it] beside <02108> thee; and I [am] after <0310> thee. And he said <0559> (8799)_, I will redeem <01350> (8799) [it]. {I thought...: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear}
5Then said <0559> (8799) Boaz <01162>_, What day <03117> thou buyest <07069> (8800) the field <07704> of the hand <03027> of Naomi <05281>_, thou must buy <07069> (8804) [it] also of Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125>_, the wife <0802> of the dead <04191> (8801)_, to raise up <06965> (8687) the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) upon his inheritance <05159>_.
6And the kinsman <01350> (8802) said <0559> (8799)_, I cannot <03201> (8799) redeem <01350> (8800) [it] for myself, lest I mar <07843> (8686) mine own inheritance <05159>_: redeem <01350> (8798) thou my right <01353> to thyself; for I cannot <03201> (8799) redeem <01350> (8800) [it].
7Now this [was the manner] in former time <06440> in Israel <03478> concerning redeeming <01353> and concerning changing <08545>_, for to confirm <06965> (8763) all things <01697>_; a man <0376> plucked off <08025> (8804) his shoe <05275>_, and gave <05414> (8804) [it] to his neighbour <07453>_: and this [was] a testimony <08584> in Israel <03478>_.
8Therefore the kinsman <01350> (8802) said <0559> (8799) unto Boaz <01162>_, Buy <07069> (8798) [it] for thee. So he drew off <08025> (8799) his shoe <05275>_.
9And Boaz <01162> said <0559> (8799) unto the elders <02205>_, and [unto] all the people <05971>_, Ye [are] witnesses <05707> this day <03117>_, that I have bought <07069> (8804) all that [was] Elimelech's <0458>_, and all that [was] Chilion's <03630> and Mahlon's <04248>_, of the hand <03027> of Naomi <05281>_.
10Moreover Ruth <07327> the Moabitess <04125>_, the wife <0802> of Mahlon <04248>_, have I purchased <07069> (8804) to be my wife <0802>_, to raise up <06965> (8687) the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) upon his inheritance <05159>_, that the name <08034> of the dead <04191> (8801) be not cut off <03772> (8735) from among <05973> his brethren <0251>_, and from the gate <08179> of his place <04725>_: ye [are] witnesses <05707> this day <03117>_.
11And all the people <05971> that [were] in the gate <08179>_, and the elders <02205>_, said <0559> (8799)_, [We are] witnesses <05707>_. The LORD <03068> make <05414> (8799) the woman <0802> that is come <0935> (8802) into thine house <01004> like Rachel <07354> and like Leah <03812>_, which two <08147> did build <01129> (8804) the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_: and do <06213> (8798) thou worthily <02428> in Ephratah <0672>_, and be famous <07121> (8798) <08034> in Bethlehem <01035>_: {do thou...: or, get thee riches, or, power} {be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name}
12And let thy house <01004> be like the house <01004> of Pharez <06557>_, whom Tamar <08559> bare <03205> (8804) unto Judah <03063>_, of the seed <02233> which the LORD <03068> shall give <05414> (8799) thee of this young woman <05291>_.
13So Boaz <01162> took <03947> (8799) Ruth <07327>_, and she was his wife <0802>_: and when he went in <0935> (8799) unto her, the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8799) her conception <02032>_, and she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>_.
14And the women <0802> said <0559> (8799) unto Naomi <05281>_, Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] the LORD <03068>_, which hath not left <07673> (8689) thee this day <03117> without a kinsman <01350> (8802)_, that his name <08034> may be famous <07121> (8735) in Israel <03478>_. {left...: Heb. caused to cease unto thee} {kinsman: or, redeemer}
15And he shall be unto thee a restorer <07725> (8688) of [thy] life <05315>_, and a nourisher <03557> (8771) of thine old age <07872>_: for thy daughter in law <03618>_, which loveth <0157> (8804) thee, which is better <02896> to thee than seven <07651> sons <01121>_, hath born <03205> (8804) him. {a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish} {thine...: Heb. thy gray hairs}
16And Naomi <05281> took <03947> (8799) the child <03206>_, and laid <07896> (8799) it in her bosom <02436>_, and became nurse <0539> (8802) unto it.
17And the women her neighbours <07934> gave <07121> (8799) it a name <08034>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, There is a son <01121> born <03205> (8795) to Naomi <05281>_; and they called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Obed <05744>_: he [is] the father <01> of Jesse <03448>_, the father <01> of David <01732>_.
18Now these [are] the generations <08435> of Pharez <06557>_: Pharez <06557> begat <03205> (8689) Hezron <02696>_,
19And Hezron <02696> begat <03205> (8689) Ram <07410>_, and Ram <07410> begat <03205> (8689) Amminadab <05992>_,
20And Amminadab <05992> begat <03205> (8689) Nahshon <05177>_, and Nahshon <05177> begat <03205> (8689) Salmon <08009>_, {Salmon: or, Salmah}
21And Salmon <08012> begat <03205> (8689) Boaz <01162>_, and Boaz <01162> begat <03205> (8689) Obed <05744>_,
22And Obed <05744> begat <03205> (8689) Jesse <03448>_, and Jesse <03448> begat <03205> (8689) David <01732>_.
