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# .
			2	And he took# ten men of the elders of the city, and said# , Sit ye down# here. And they sat down# .
			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	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 . [I thought...: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear]
			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.
			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 .
			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.
			8	Therefore the kinsman# said# unto Boaz, Buy# it for thee. So he drew off# his shoe.
			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.
			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.
			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: [do thou...: or, get thee riches, or, power] [be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name]
			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.
			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.
			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. [left...: Heb. caused to cease unto thee] [kinsman: or, redeemer]
			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. [a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish] [thine...: Heb. thy gray hairs]
			16	And Naomi took# the child, and laid# it in her bosom, and became nurse# unto it.
			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.
			18	Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat# Hezron,
			19	And Hezron begat# Ram, and Ram begat# Amminadab,
			20	And Amminadab begat# Nahshon, and Nahshon begat# Salmon, [Salmon: or, Salmah]
			21	And Salmon begat# Boaz, and Boaz begat# Obed,
			22	And Obed begat# Jesse, and Jesse begat# David.
