| 4:1 | 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. |
| 4:2 | And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. |
| 4:3 | 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: |
| 4:4 | 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. |
| 4:5 | 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. |
| 4:6 | 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. |
| 4:7 | 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. |
| 4:8 | Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. |
| 4:9 | 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. |
| 4:10 | 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. |
| 4:11 | And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We 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 be famous in Bethlehem: |
| 4:12 | And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. |
| 4:13 | So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. |
| 4:14 | And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. |
| 4:15 | And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. |
| 4:16 | And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. |
| 4:17 | And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. |
| 4:18 | Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, |
| 4:19 | And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, |
| 4:20 | And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, |
| 4:21 | And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, |
| 4:22 | And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. |

| 4:15 | והיה לך למשׁיב נפשׁ ולכלכל את שׂיבתך כי כלתך אשׁר אהבתך ילדתו אשׁר היא טובה לך משׁבעה בנים׃ |
| 4:16 | ותקח נעמי את הילד ותשׁתהו בחיקה ותהי לו לאמנת׃ |
| 4:17 | ותקראנה לו השׁכנות שׁם לאמר ילד בן לנעמי ותקראנה שׁמו עובד הוא אבי ישׁי אבי דוד׃ |
| 4:18 | ואלה תולדות פרץ פרץ הוליד את חצרון׃ |
| 4:19 | וחצרון הוליד את רם ורם הוליד את עמינדב׃ |
| 4:20 | ועמינדב הוליד את נחשׁון ונחשׁון הוליד את שׂלמה׃ |
| 4:21 | ושׂלמון הוליד את בעז ובעז הוליד את עובד׃ |
| 4:22 | ועבד הוליד את ישׁי וישׁי הוליד את דוד׃ |
| 4:1 | And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, `Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and he turneth aside and sitteth down. |
| 4:2 | And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, `Sit down here;' and they sit down. |
| 4:3 | And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which `is' to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab; |
| 4:4 | and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem -- declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem `it'.' |
| 4:5 | And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought `it', to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.' |
| 4:6 | And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem `it' for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.' |
| 4:7 | And this `is' formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given `it' to his neighbour, and this `is' the testimony in Israel. |
| 4:8 | And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy `it' for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal. |
| 4:9 | And Boaz saith to the elders, and `to' all the people, `Witnesses `are' ye to-day that I have bought all that `is' to Elimelech, and all that `is' to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi; |
| 4:10 | and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye `are' to-day.' |
| 4:11 | And all the people who `are' in the gate say -- also the elders -- `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem; |
| 4:12 | and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.' |
| 4:13 | And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth a son. |
| 4:14 | And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed `is' Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel, |
| 4:15 | and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee -- who is better to thee than seven sons -- hath borne him.' |
| 4:16 | And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse; |
| 4:17 | and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, `There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he `is' father of Jesse, father of David. |
| 4:18 | And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, |
| 4:19 | and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab, |
| 4:20 | and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, |
| 4:21 | and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, |
| 4:22 | and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. |
