08:003:015 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou
hast upon thee, and
hold
it. And when she held it, he measured six measures
of
barley,
and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
08:003:016 And when she came to her mother in law,
she said, Who art
thou,
my daughter? And she told her all that the man
had done
to
her.
08:003:017 And she said, These six measures of barley
gave he me; for he
said
to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
08:003:018 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter,
until thou know how the
matter
will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until
he
have
finished the thing this day.
08:004:001 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.
08:004:002 And he took ten men of the elders of the
city, and said, Sit
ye
down here. And they sat down.
08:004:003 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:
08:004:004 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.
08:004:005 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.
08:004:006 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.
08:004:007 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 neighbour:
and
this
was a testimony in Israel.
08:004:008 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy
it for thee. So he
drew
off his shoe.
08:004:009 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.
08:004:010 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.
