Ruth 4:6
4:6 The guardian said, “Then I am unable to redeem it, for I would ruin my own inheritance
in that case. You may exercise my redemption option, for I am unable to redeem it.”
Ruth 2:13
2:13 She said, “You really are being kind to me,
sir,
for you have reassured
and encouraged
me, your servant,
even though I am
not one of your servants!”
Ruth 3:18
3:18 Then Naomi
said, “Stay put,
my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out. For the man will not rest until he has taken care of the matter today.”

Lord be praised because he has not left you without a guardian
today! May he
become famous in Israel!
Ruth 2:8
2:8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully, my dear! Do not leave to gather grain in another field. You need not go beyond the limits of this field. You may go along beside my female workers.
Ruth 2:11
2:11 Boaz replied to her,
“I have been given a full report of
all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband – how you left
your father and your mother, as well as your homeland, and came to live among people you did not know previously.
Ruth 2:20
2:20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be rewarded by the
Lord because he
has shown loyalty to the living on behalf of the dead!”
Then Naomi said to her, “This man is a close relative of ours; he is our guardian.”
Ruth 3:13
3:13 Remain here tonight. Then in the morning, if he agrees to marry you,
fine,
let him do so.
But if he does not want to do so, I promise, as surely as the
Lord lives, to marry you.
Sleep here until morning.”
Ruth 4:4
4:4 So I am legally informing you:
Acquire it before those sitting here and before the leaders of my people!
If you want to exercise your right to redeem it, then do so.
But if not, then tell me
so I will know.
For you possess the first option to redeem it; I am next in line after you.”
He replied, “I will redeem it.”
