Ruth 4:1-4 ▼

1 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, |Turn aside, friend, sit down here.| And he turned aside and sat down.

2 He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, |Sit down here.| So they sat down.

3 Then he said to the closest relative, |Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

4 |So I thought to inform you, saying, Buy [it] before those who are sitting [here], and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem [it], redeem [it]; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem [it], and I am after you.'| And he said, |I will redeem [it].|
