5 Boaz continued, |When you buy the field from Naomi, you will also assume responsibility for the Moabite Ruth, the dead man's widow. This keeps the inheritance in the dead man's name.| 6 The man replied, |In that case I cannot assume responsibility for her. If I did, I would ruin my inheritance. Take all my rights to buy back the property for yourself, because I cannot assume that responsibility.| Ruth 4:5-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
