Ruth 4:9
King James VersionSource notes
“And Boaz said unto the elders, and all the people, Ye witnesses this day, that I have bought all that Elimelech’s, and all that Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.”
Context
6And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
7Now this in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave to his neighbour: and this a testimony in Israel.
8Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
9And Boaz said unto the elders, and all the people, Ye witnesses this day, that I have bought all that Elimelech’s, and all that Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
10Moreover 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 witnesses this day.
11And all the people that in the gate, and the elders, said, 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:
12And 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.
