Ruth 4:1-22

4:1

Then 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)_.

4:2

And 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)_.

4:3

And 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>_:

4:4

And 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}

4:5

Then 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>_.

4:6

And 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].

4:7

Now 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>_.

4:8

Therefore 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>_.

4:9

And 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>_.

4:10

Moreover 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>_.

4:11

And 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}

4:12

And 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>_.

4:13

So 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>_.

4:14

And 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}

4:15

And 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}

4:16

And Naomi
<05281>

took
<03947> (8799)

the child
<03206>_,

and laid
<07896> (8799)

it in her bosom
<02436>_,

and became nurse
<0539> (8802)

unto it.

4:17

And 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>_.

4:18

Now these [are] the generations
<08435>

of Pharez
<06557>_:

Pharez
<06557>

begat
<03205> (8689)

Hezron
<02696>_,

4:19

And Hezron
<02696>

begat
<03205> (8689)

Ram
<07410>_,

and Ram
<07410>

begat
<03205> (8689)

<05992>_,

And Amminadab

<03205> (8689)

<05177>_,

<05177>
