| 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: |
| 4:11 | 在城門坐著的眾民和長老都說、我們作見證、願耶和華使進你家的這女子、像建立以色列家的拉結、利亞二人一樣．又願你在以法他得亨通、在伯利恆得名聲． |
| 4:11 | 在城门坐着的众民和长老都说，我们作见证。愿耶和华使进你家的这女子，像建立以色列家的拉结，利亚二人一样。又愿你在以法他得亨通，在伯利恒得名声。 |
| rut: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. |
| gen:29:30 | And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. |
| gen:30:23 | And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: |
| gen:35:16 | And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. |
| gen:35:16 | And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. |
| gen:35:19 | And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. |
| rut:1:2 | And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. |

| 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. |
