Chapter 4
Then
went
Boaz
vp
to
the
gate,
and
sate
him
downe
there:
and
beholde,
the
kinseman
of
whome
Boaz
spake,
came
by,
vnto
whom
he
said,
Ho,
such
a
one:
turne
aside,
sit
downe
here.
And
hee
turned
aside,
and
sate
downe.
2
And
hee
tooke
ten
men
of
the
Elders
of
the
citie,
and
said,
Sit
ye
downe
here.
And
they
sate
downe.
3
And
he
said
vnto
the
kinseman:
Naomi
that
is
come
againe
out
of
the
countrey
of
Moab,
selleth
a
parcell
of
land,
which
was
our
brother
Elimelechs.
4
And
I
thought
to
aduertise
thee,
saying,
Buy
it
before
the
inhabitants,
and
before
the
Elders
of
my
people.
If
thou
wilt
redeeme
it,
redeeme
it,
but
if
thou
wilt
not
redeeme
it,
then
tell
mee,
that
I
may
know:
for
there
is
none
to
redeeme
it,
besides
thee,
and
I
am
after
thee.
And
he
said,
I
will
redeeme
it.
5
Then
said
Boaz,
What
day
thou
buyest
the
field
of
the
hand
of
Naomi,
thou
must
buy
it
also
of
Ruth
the
Moabitesse,
the
wife
of
the
dead,
to
raise
vp
the
name
of
the
dead
vpon
his
inheritance.
6
And
the
kinseman
said,
I
cannot
redeeme
it
for
my
selfe,
lest
I
marre
mine
owne
inheritance:
redeeme
thou
my
right
to
thy
selfe,
for
I
cannot
redeeme
it.
7
Now
this
was
the
maner
in
former
time
in
Israel,
concerning
redeeming
and
concerning
changing,
for
to
confirme
all
things:
a
man
plucked
off
his
shooe,
and
gaue
it
to
his
neighbour:
and
this
was
a
testimonie
in
Israel.
8
Therfore
the
kinseman
said
vnto
Boaz,
Buy
it
for
thee:
so
he
drew
off
his
shooe.
9
And
Boaz
saide
vnto
the
Elders,
and
vnto
all
the
people,
Ye
are
witnesses
this
day,
that
I
haue
bought
all
that
was
Elimelechs,
and
all
that
was
Chilions,
and
Mahlons,
of
the
hande
of
Naomi.
10
Moreouer,
Ruth
the
Moabitesse,
the
wife
of
Mahlon,
haue
I
purchased
to
be
my
wife,
to
raise
vp
the
name
of
the
dead
vpon
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.
11
And
all
the
people
that
were
in
the
gate,
and
the
Elders
said,
Wee
are
witnesses:
The
Lord
make
the
woman
that
is
come
into
thine
house,
like
Rachel
and
like
Leah,
which
two
did
build
the
house
of
Israel:
and
do
thou
worthily
in
Ephratah,
and
bee
famous
in
Bethlehem.
12
And
let
thy
house
be
like
the
house
of
Pharez,
(whom
Tamar
bare
vnto
to
Iudah)
of
the
seed
which
the
Lord
shall
giue
thee
of
this
yong
woman.
13
So
Boaz
tooke
Ruth,
and
she
was
his
wife:
and
when
he
went
in
vnto
her,
the
Lord
gaue
her
conception,
and
she
bare
a
sonne.
14
And
the
women
said
vnto
Naomi,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
which
hath
not
left
thee
this
day
without
a
kinseman,
that
his
name
may
bee
famous
in
Israel:
15
And
he
shalbe
vnto
thee
a
restorer
of
thy
life,
and
a
nourisher
of
thine
old
age:
for
thy
daughter
in
law
which
loueth
thee,
which
is
better
to
thee
then
seuen
sonnes,
hath
borne
him.
16
And
Naomi
tooke
the
childe,
and
laid
it
in
her
bosome,
and
became
nurse
vnto
it.
17
And
the
women
her
neighbours
gaue
it
a
name,
saying,
There
is
a
sonne
borne
to
Naomi,
and
they
called
his
name
Obed:
hee
is
the
father
of
Iesse
the
father
of
Dauid.
18
Now
these
are
the
generations
of
Pharez:
Pharez
begate
Hezron,
19
And
Hezron
begate
Ram,
and
Ram
begate
Amminadab,
20
And
Amminadab
begate
Nahshon,
and
Nahshon
begate
Salmon,
21
And
Salmon
begate
Boaz,
and
Boaz
begate
Obed,
22
And
Obed
begat
Iesse,
and
Iesse
begate
Dauid.
