Ruth 4:1
Boaz Settles the Matter
4:1 Now Boaz went up to the village gate and sat there. Then along came the guardian whom Boaz had mentioned to Ruth! Boaz said, “Come here and sit down, ‘John Doe’!” So he came and sat down.
Ruth 4:10-11
4:10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife to raise up a descendant who will inherit his property
so the name of the deceased might not disappear
from among his relatives and from his village.
You are witnesses today.”
4:11 All the people who were at the gate and the elders replied, “We are witnesses. May the
Lord make the woman who is entering your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel! May
you prosper
in Ephrathah and become famous
in Bethlehem.
