HE MARRIES RUTH. (Rut 4:9-12)
Boaz said unto the elders, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was . . . Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi--Although the widow of Chilion was still living, no regard was paid to her in the disposal of her husband's property. From her remaining in Moab, she was considered to have either been married again, or to have renounced all right to an inheritance with the family of Elimelech. |
9 And Boaz [01162] said [0559] unto the elders [02205], and unto all the people [05971], Ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117], that I have bought [07069] all that was Elimelech's [0458], and all that was Chilion's [03630] and Mahlon's [04248], of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281].
10 Moreover Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of Mahlon [04248], have I purchased [07069] to be my wife [0802], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159], that the name [08034] of the dead [04191] be not cut off [03772] from among [05973] his brethren [0251], and from the gate [08179] of his place [04725]: ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117].
11 And all the people [05971] that were in the gate [08179], and the elders [02205], said [0559], We are witnesses [05707]. The LORD [03068] make [05414] the woman [0802] that is come [0935] into thine house [01004] like Rachel [07354] and like Leah [03812], which two [08147] did build [01129] the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: and do [06213] thou worthily [02428] in Ephratah [0672], and be famous [07121] [08034] in Bethlehem [01035]:
12 And let thy house [01004] be like the house [01004] of Pharez [06557], whom Tamar [08559] bare [03205] unto Judah [03063], of the seed [02233] which the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] thee of this young woman [05291].
