5 And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman's hand, thou must take also Ruth the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance. 6 He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family.
