[Ruth 1]
1:1^C Now it came to pass in the days³¹¹⁷ when the judges⁸¹⁹⁹ ruled,⁸¹⁹⁹ that there was a famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the land.⁷⁷⁶ And a certain man³⁷⁶ of Bethlehemjudah^10353063 went³²¹² to sojourn¹⁴⁸¹ in the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ he, and his wife,⁸⁰² and his two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons.
1:2^C And the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the man³⁷⁶ [was] Elimelech,⁴⁵⁸ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of his wife⁸⁰² Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of his two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ Mahlon⁴²⁴⁸ and Chilion,³⁶³⁰ Ephrathites⁶⁷³ of Bethlehemjudah.^10353063 And they came⁹³⁵ into the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab,
1:3 And Elimelech⁴⁵⁸ Naomi's⁵²⁸¹ husband³⁷⁶ died;⁴¹⁹¹ and she was left,⁷⁶⁰⁴ and her two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons.
1:4^C And they took⁵³⁷⁵ them wives⁸⁰² of the women⁸⁰² of Moab;⁴¹²⁵ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ [was] Orpah,⁶²⁰⁴ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Ruth:⁷³²⁷ and they dwelled³⁴²⁷ there about ten⁶²³⁵ years.
1:5 And Mahlon⁴²⁴⁸ and Chilion³⁶³⁰ died⁴¹⁹¹ also both⁸¹⁴⁷ of them; and the woman⁸⁰² was left⁷⁶⁰⁴ of her two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons³²⁰⁶ and her husband.
1:6^C Then she arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ with her daughters in law,³⁶¹⁸ that she might return⁷⁷²⁵ from the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ for she had heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ how that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had visited⁶⁴⁸⁵ his people⁵⁹⁷¹ in giving⁵⁴¹⁴ them bread.
1:7 Wherefore she went forth³³¹⁸ out of the place⁴⁷²⁵ where she was, and her two⁸¹⁴⁷ daughters in law³⁶¹⁸ with her; and they went³²¹² on the way¹⁸⁷⁰ to return⁷⁷²⁵ unto the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.
1:8 And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her two⁸¹⁴⁷ daughters in law,³⁶¹⁸ Go,³²¹² return⁷⁷²⁵ each⁸⁰² to her mother's⁵¹⁷ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ deal⁶²¹³ kindly²⁶¹⁷ with you, as ye have dealt⁶²¹³ with the dead,
1:9 The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ grant⁵⁴¹⁴ you that ye may find⁴⁶⁷² rest,⁴⁴⁹⁶ each⁸⁰² [of you] in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of her husband.³⁷⁶ Then she kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ them; and they lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept.
1:10^C And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Surely we will return⁷⁷²⁵ with thee unto thy people.
1:11^C And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Turn again,⁷⁷²⁵ my daughters:¹³²³ why will ye go³²¹² with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons¹¹²¹ in my womb,⁴⁵⁷⁸ that they may be your husbands?
1:12 Turn again,⁷⁷²⁵ my daughters,¹³²³ go³²¹² [your way]; for I am too old²²⁰⁴ to have an husband.³⁷⁶ If I should say,⁵⁵⁹ I have³⁴²⁶ hope,⁸⁶¹⁵ [if] I should have an husband³⁷⁶ also to night,³⁹¹⁵ and should also bear³²⁰⁵ sons;
1:13^C Would ye tarry⁷⁶⁶³ for them³⁸⁶⁰ till they were grown?¹⁴³¹ would ye stay⁵⁷⁰² for them³⁸⁶⁰ from having husbands?³⁷⁶ nay, my daughters;¹³²³ for it grieveth⁴⁸⁴³ me much³⁹⁶⁶ for your sakes that the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is gone out
1:14 And they lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and wept again:¹⁰⁵⁸ and Orpah⁶²⁰⁴ kissed⁵⁴⁰¹ her mother in law;²⁵⁴⁵ but Ruth⁷³²⁷ clave
1:15^C And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, thy sister in law²⁹⁹⁴ is gone back⁷⁷²⁵ unto her people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and unto her gods:⁴³⁰ return⁷⁷²⁵ thou after³¹⁰ thy sister in law.
1:16^C And Ruth⁷³²⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Intreat⁶²⁹³ me not to leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ thee, [or] to return⁷⁷²⁵ from following after³¹⁰ thee: for whither thou goest,³²¹² I will go;³²¹² and where thou lodgest,³⁸⁸⁵ I will lodge:³⁸⁸⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ [shall be] my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy God⁴³⁰ my God:
1:17 Where thou diest,⁴¹⁹¹ will I die,⁴¹⁹¹ and there will I be buried:⁶⁹¹² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ do⁶²¹³ so to me, and more³²⁵⁴ also, [if ought] but death⁴¹⁹⁴ part
1:18 When she saw⁷²⁰⁰ that she was stedfastly minded⁵⁵³ to go³²¹² with her, then she left²³⁰⁸ speaking
1:19 So they two⁸¹⁴⁷ went³²¹² until they came⁹³⁵ to Bethlehem.¹⁰³⁵ And it came to pass, when they were come⁹³⁵ to Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ that all the city⁵⁸⁹² was moved¹⁹⁴⁹ about them, and they said,⁵⁵⁹ [Is] this Naomi?
1:20^C And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Call⁷¹²¹ me not Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ call⁷¹²¹ me Mara:⁴⁷⁵⁵ for the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ hath dealt very³⁹⁶⁶ bitterly
1:21^C I went out¹⁹⁸⁰ full,⁴³⁹² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath brought me home again⁷⁷²⁵ empty:⁷³⁸⁷ why [then] call⁷¹²¹ ye me Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ seeing the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath testified⁶⁰³⁰ against me, and the Almighty⁷⁷⁰⁶ hath afflicted
1:22^C So Naomi⁵²⁸¹ returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess,⁴¹²⁵ her daughter in law,³⁶¹⁸ with her, which returned⁷⁷²⁵ out of the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ and they came⁹³⁵ to Bethlehem¹⁰³⁵ in the beginning⁸⁴⁶² of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ harvest.

[Ruth 2]
2:1^C And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ had a kinsman^41293045 of her husband's,³⁷⁶ a mighty¹³⁶⁸ man³⁷⁶ of wealth,²⁴²⁸ of the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of Elimelech;⁴⁵⁸ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ [was] Boaz.
2:2^C And Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess⁴¹²⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ Let me now go³²¹² to the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and glean³⁹⁵⁰ ears of corn⁷⁶⁴¹ after³¹⁰ [him] in whose sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ I shall find⁴⁶⁷² grace.²⁵⁸⁰ And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Go,³²¹² my daughter.
2:3^C And she went,³²¹² and came,⁹³⁵ and gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ after³¹⁰ the reapers:⁷¹¹⁴ and her hap⁴⁷⁴⁵ was to light⁷¹³⁶ on a part²⁵¹³ of the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ [belonging] unto Boaz,¹¹⁶² who [was] of the kindred⁴⁹⁴⁰ of Elimelech.
2:4^C And, behold, Boaz¹¹⁶² came⁹³⁵ from Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto the reapers,⁷¹¹⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ [be] with you. And they answered⁵⁵⁹ him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ bless
2:5 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Boaz¹¹⁶² unto his servant⁵²⁸⁸ that was set⁵³²⁴ over the reapers,⁷¹¹⁴ Whose damsel
2:6 And the servant⁵²⁸⁸ that was set⁵³²⁴ over the reapers⁷¹¹⁴ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It [is] the Moabitish⁴¹²⁵ damsel⁵²⁹¹ that came back⁷⁷²⁵ with Naomi⁵²⁸¹ out of the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab:
2:7 And she said,⁵⁵⁹ I pray you, let me glean³⁹⁵⁰ and gather⁶²² after³¹⁰ the reapers⁷¹¹⁴ among the sheaves:⁶⁰¹⁶ so she came,⁹³⁵ and hath continued⁵⁹⁷⁵ even²²⁷ from the morning¹²⁴² until now, that she tarried³⁴²⁷ a little⁴⁵⁹² in the house.
2:8 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Boaz¹¹⁶² unto Ruth,⁷³²⁷ Hearest⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou not, my daughter?¹³²³ Go³²¹² not to glean³⁹⁵⁰ in another³¹² field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ neither go⁵⁶⁷⁴ from hence, but abide¹⁶⁹² here fast by my maidens:
2:9 [Let] thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ [be] on the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ that they do reap,⁷¹¹⁴ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ thou after³¹⁰ them: have I not charged⁶⁶⁸⁰ the young men⁵²⁸⁸ that they shall not touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ thee? and when thou art athirst,⁶⁷⁷⁰ go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto the vessels,³⁶²⁷ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ of [that] which the young men⁵²⁸⁸ have drawn.
2:10 Then she fell⁵³⁰⁷ on her face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and bowed⁷⁸¹² herself to the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why have I found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that thou shouldest take knowledge⁵²³⁴ of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?
2:11 And Boaz¹¹⁶² answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, It hath fully⁵⁰⁴⁶ been shewed⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, all that thou hast done⁶²¹³ unto thy mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ since³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of thine husband:³⁷⁶ and [how] thou hast left⁵⁸⁰⁰ thy father¹ and thy mother,⁵¹⁷ and the land⁷⁷⁶ of thy nativity,⁴¹³⁸ and art come³²¹² unto a people⁵⁹⁷¹ which thou knewest³⁰⁴⁵ not heretofore.⁸⁵⁴³
2:12 The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ recompense⁷⁹⁹⁹ thy work,⁶⁴⁶⁷ and a full⁸⁰⁰³ reward⁴⁹⁰⁹ be given thee of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ under whose wings³⁶⁷¹ thou art come⁹³⁵ to trust.
2:13 Then she said,⁵⁵⁹ Let me find⁴⁶⁷² favour²⁵⁸⁰ in thy sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ my lord;¹¹³ for that thou hast comforted⁵¹⁶² me, and for that thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ friendly³⁸²⁰ unto thine handmaid,⁸¹⁹⁸ though I be not like unto one²⁵⁹ of thine handmaidens.
2:14 And Boaz¹¹⁶² said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, At mealtime^6256400 come⁵⁰⁶⁶ thou hither,¹⁹⁸⁸ and eat³⁹⁸ of the bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and dip²⁸⁸¹ thy morsel⁶⁵⁹⁵ in the vinegar.²⁵⁵⁸ And she sat³⁴²⁷ beside⁶⁶⁵⁴ the reapers:⁷¹¹⁴ and he reached⁶⁶⁴² her parched⁷⁰³⁹ [corn], and she did eat,³⁹⁸ and was sufficed,⁷⁶⁴⁶ and left.
2:15 And when she was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to glean,³⁹⁵⁰ Boaz¹¹⁶² commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ his young men,⁵²⁸⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let her glean³⁹⁵⁰ even among the sheaves,⁶⁰¹⁶ and reproach
2:16 And let fall⁷⁹⁹⁷ also [some] of the handfuls⁶⁶⁵³ of purpose⁷⁹⁹⁷ for her, and leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ [them], that she may glean³⁹⁵⁰ [them], and rebuke
2:17 So she gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ until even,⁶¹⁵³ and beat out²²⁵¹ that she had gleaned:³⁹⁵⁰ and it was about an ephah³⁷⁴ of barley.
2:18 And she took [it] up,⁵³⁷⁵ and went⁹³⁵ into the city:⁵⁸⁹² and her mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ saw⁷²⁰⁰ what she had gleaned:³⁹⁵⁰ and she brought forth,³³¹⁸ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to her that she had reserved³⁴⁹⁸ after she was sufficed.
2:19 And her mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Where hast thou gleaned³⁹⁵⁰ to day?³¹¹⁷ and where³⁷⁵ wroughtest⁶²¹³ thou? blessed¹²⁸⁸ be he that did take knowledge⁵²³⁴ of thee. And she shewed⁵⁰⁴⁶ her mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ with whom she had wrought,⁶²¹³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The man's³⁷⁶ name⁸⁰³⁴ with whom I wrought⁶²¹³ to day³¹¹⁷ [is] Boaz.
2:20 And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her daughter in law,³⁶¹⁸ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ [be] he of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who hath not left off⁵⁸⁰⁰ his kindness²⁶¹⁷ to the living²⁴¹⁶ and to the dead.⁴¹⁹¹ And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, The man³⁷⁶ [is] near of kin⁷¹³⁸ unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
2:21 And Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess⁴¹²⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ He said⁵⁵⁹ unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast¹⁶⁹² by my young men,⁵²⁸⁸ until they have ended³⁶¹⁵ all my harvest.
2:22 And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Ruth⁷³²⁷ her daughter in law,³⁶¹⁸ [It is] good,²⁸⁹⁶ my daughter,¹³²³ that thou go out³³¹⁸ with his maidens,⁵²⁹¹ that they meet⁶²⁹³ thee not in any other³¹² field.
2:23^C So she kept fast¹⁶⁹² by the maidens⁵²⁹¹ of Boaz¹¹⁶² to glean³⁹⁵⁰ unto the end³⁶¹⁵ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ harvest⁷¹⁰⁵ and of wheat²⁴⁰⁶ harvest;⁷¹⁰⁵ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ with her mother in law.

[Ruth 3]
3:1 Then Naomi⁵²⁸¹ her mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, My daughter,¹³²³ shall I not seek¹²⁴⁵ rest⁴⁴⁹⁴ for thee, that it may be well
3:2 And now [is] not Boaz¹¹⁶² of our kindred,⁴¹³⁰ with whose maidens⁵²⁹¹ thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth²²¹⁹ barley⁸¹⁸⁴ to night³⁹¹⁵ in the threshingfloor.
3:3 Wash⁷³⁶⁴ thyself therefore, and anoint⁵⁴⁸⁰ thee, and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy raiment⁸⁰⁷¹ upon thee, and get thee down³³⁸¹ to the floor:¹⁶³⁷ [but] make not thyself known³⁰⁴⁵ unto the man,³⁷⁶ until he shall have done³⁶¹⁵ eating³⁹⁸ and drinking.
3:4^C And it shall be, when he lieth down,⁷⁹⁰¹ that thou shalt mark³⁰⁴⁵ the place⁴⁷²⁵ where he shall lie,⁷⁹⁰¹ and thou shalt go in,⁹³⁵ and uncover¹⁵⁴⁰ his feet,⁴⁷⁷² and lay thee down;⁷⁹⁰¹ and he will tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee what thou shalt do.
3:5 And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, All that thou sayest⁵⁵⁹ unto me I will do.
3:6 And she went down³³⁸¹ unto the floor,¹⁶³⁷ and did⁶²¹³ according to all that her mother in law²⁵⁴⁵ bade
3:7 And when Boaz¹¹⁶² had eaten³⁹⁸ and drunk,⁸³⁵⁴ and his heart³⁸²⁰ was merry,³¹⁹⁰ he went⁹³⁵ to lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ at the end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the heap of corn:⁶¹⁹⁴ and she came⁹³⁵ softly,³⁹⁰⁹ and uncovered¹⁵⁴⁰ his feet,⁴⁷⁷² and laid her down.
3:8 And it came to pass at midnight,^26773915 that the man³⁷⁶ was afraid,²⁷²⁹ and turned³⁹⁴³ himself: and, behold, a woman⁸⁰² lay⁷⁹⁰¹ at his feet.
3:9 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Who [art] thou? And she answered,⁵⁵⁹ I [am] Ruth⁷³²⁷ thine handmaid:⁵¹⁹ spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ therefore thy skirt³⁶⁷¹ over thine handmaid;⁵¹⁹ for thou [art] a near kinsman.
3:10 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ [be] thou of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ my daughter:¹³²³ [for] thou hast shewed³¹⁹⁰ more kindness²⁶¹⁷ in the latter end³¹⁴ than at the beginning,⁷²²³ inasmuch as thou followedst^3212310 not¹¹¹⁵ young men,⁹⁷⁰ whether poor¹⁸⁰⁰ or rich.
3:11 And now, my daughter,¹³²³ fear³³⁷² not; I will do⁶²¹³ to thee all that thou requirest:⁵⁵⁹ for all the city⁸¹⁷⁹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ doth know³⁰⁴⁵ that thou [art] a virtuous²⁴²⁸ woman.
3:12 And now it is true⁵⁵¹ that I [am thy] near kinsman:¹³⁵⁰ howbeit there is³⁴²⁶ a kinsman¹³⁵⁰ nearer
3:13 Tarry³⁸⁸⁵ this night,³⁹¹⁵ and it shall be in the morning,¹²⁴² [that] if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman,¹³⁵⁰ well;²⁸⁹⁶ let him do the kinsman's part:¹³⁵⁰ but if he will²⁶⁵⁴ not do the part of a kinsman¹³⁵⁰ to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman¹³⁵⁰ to thee, [as] the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth:²⁴¹⁶ lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ until the morning.
3:14^C And she lay⁷⁹⁰¹ at his feet⁴⁷⁷² until the morning:¹²⁴² and she rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ before²⁹⁵⁸ one³⁷⁶ could know⁵²³⁴ another.⁷⁴⁵³ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Let it not be known³⁰⁴⁵ that a woman⁸⁰² came⁹³⁵ into the floor.
3:15 Also he said,⁵⁵⁹ Bring³⁰⁵¹ the vail⁴³⁰⁴ that [thou hast] upon thee, and hold²⁷⁰ it. And when she held²⁷⁰ it, he measured⁴⁰⁵⁸ six⁸³³⁷ [measures] of barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ and laid⁷⁸⁹⁶ [it] on her: and she went⁹³⁵ into the city.
3:16 And when she came⁹³⁵ to her mother in law,²⁵⁴⁵ she said,⁵⁵⁹ Who [art] thou, my daughter?¹³²³ And she told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her all that the man³⁷⁶ had done
3:17 And she said,⁵⁵⁹ These six⁸³³⁷ [measures] of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ he me; for he said⁵⁵⁹ to me, Go⁹³⁵ not empty⁷³⁸⁷ unto thy mother in law.
3:18 Then said⁵⁵⁹ she, Sit still,³⁴²⁷ my daughter,¹³²³ until thou know³⁰⁴⁵ how the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ will fall:⁵³⁰⁷ for the man³⁷⁶ will not be in rest,⁸²⁵² until⁵¹⁸ he have finished³⁶¹⁵ the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ this day.

[Ruth 4]
4:1 Then went⁵⁹²⁷ Boaz¹¹⁶² up⁵⁹²⁷ to the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and sat him down³⁴²⁷ there: and, behold, the kinsman¹³⁵⁰ of whom Boaz¹¹⁶² spake¹⁶⁹⁶ came⁵⁶⁷⁴ by; unto whom he said,⁵⁵⁹ Ho,¹⁹⁴⁵ such⁶⁴²³ a one!⁴⁹² turn aside,⁵⁴⁹³ sit down³⁴²⁷ here. And he turned aside,⁵⁴⁹³ and sat down.
4:2 And he took³⁹⁴⁷ ten⁶²³⁵ men⁵⁸² of the elders²²⁰⁵ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Sit ye down³⁴²⁷ here. And they sat down.
4:3 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto the kinsman,¹³⁵⁰ Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ that is come again⁷⁷²⁵ out of the country⁷⁷⁰⁴ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ selleth⁴³⁷⁶ a parcel²⁵¹³ of land,⁷⁷⁰⁴ which [was] our brother²⁵¹ Elimelech's:
4:4^C And I thought⁵⁵⁹ to advertise^1540241 thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Buy⁷⁰⁶⁹ [it] before the inhabitants,³⁴²⁷ and before the elders²²⁰⁵ of my people.⁵⁹⁷¹ If thou wilt redeem¹³⁵⁰ [it], redeem¹³⁵⁰ [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem¹³⁵⁰ [it, then] tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, that I may know:³⁰⁴⁵ for [there is] none to redeem¹³⁵⁰ [it] beside²¹⁰⁸ thee; and I [am] after³¹⁰ thee. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will redeem
4:5 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Boaz,¹¹⁶² What day³¹¹⁷ thou buyest⁷⁰⁶⁹ the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of the hand³⁰²⁷ of Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ thou must buy⁷⁰⁶⁹ [it] also of Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess,⁴¹²⁵ the wife⁸⁰² of the dead,⁴¹⁹¹ to raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the dead⁴¹⁹¹ upon his inheritance.
4:6 And the kinsman¹³⁵⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ I cannot³²⁰¹ redeem¹³⁵⁰ [it] for myself, lest I mar⁷⁸⁴³ mine own inheritance:⁵¹⁵⁹ redeem¹³⁵⁰ thou my right¹³⁵³ to thyself; for I cannot³²⁰¹ redeem
4:7 Now this [was the manner] in former time⁶⁴⁴⁰ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ concerning redeeming¹³⁵³ and concerning changing,⁸⁵⁴⁵ for to confirm⁶⁹⁶⁵ all things;¹⁶⁹⁷ a man³⁷⁶ plucked off⁸⁰²⁵ his shoe,⁵²⁷⁵ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ [it] to his neighbour:⁷⁴⁵³ and this [was] a testimony⁸⁵⁸⁴ in Israel.
4:8 Therefore the kinsman¹³⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Boaz,¹¹⁶² Buy⁷⁰⁶⁹ [it] for thee. So he drew off⁸⁰²⁵ his shoe.
4:9 And Boaz¹¹⁶² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the elders,²²⁰⁵ and [unto] all the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Ye [are] witnesses⁵⁷⁰⁷ this day,³¹¹⁷ that I have bought⁷⁰⁶⁹ all that [was] Elimelech's,⁴⁵⁸ and all that [was] Chilion's³⁶³⁰ and Mahlon's,⁴²⁴⁸ of the hand³⁰²⁷ of Naomi.
4:10^C Moreover Ruth⁷³²⁷ the Moabitess,⁴¹²⁵ the wife⁸⁰² of Mahlon,⁴²⁴⁸ have I purchased⁷⁰⁶⁹ to be my wife,⁸⁰² to raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the dead⁴¹⁹¹ upon his inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ that the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the dead⁴¹⁹¹ be not cut off³⁷⁷² from among⁵⁹⁷³ his brethren,²⁵¹ and from the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of his place:⁴⁷²⁵ ye [are] witnesses⁵⁷⁰⁷ this day.
4:11 And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] in the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and the elders,²²⁰⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ [We are] witnesses.⁵⁷⁰⁷ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ make⁵⁴¹⁴ the woman⁸⁰² that is come⁹³⁵ into thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ like Rachel⁷³⁵⁴ and like Leah,³⁸¹² which two⁸¹⁴⁷ did build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and do⁶²¹³ thou worthily²⁴²⁸ in Ephratah,⁶⁷² and be famous^71218034 in Bethlehem:
4:12 And let thy house¹⁰⁰⁴ be like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Pharez,⁶⁵⁵⁷ whom Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ bare³²⁰⁵ unto Judah,³⁰⁶³ of the seed²²³³ which the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee of this young woman.
4:13 So Boaz¹¹⁶² took³⁹⁴⁷ Ruth,⁷³²⁷ and she was his wife:⁸⁰² and when he went in⁹³⁵ unto her, the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ her conception,²⁰³² and she bare³²⁰⁵ a son.
4:14 And the women⁸⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Naomi,⁵²⁸¹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ [be] the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which hath not left⁷⁶⁷³ thee this day³¹¹⁷ without a kinsman,¹³⁵⁰ that his name⁸⁰³⁴ may be famous⁷¹²¹ in Israel.
4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer⁷⁷²⁵ of [thy] life,⁵³¹⁵ and a nourisher³⁵⁵⁷ of thine old age:⁷⁸⁷² for thy daughter in law,³⁶¹⁸ which loveth¹⁵⁷ thee, which is better²⁸⁹⁶ to thee than seven⁷⁶⁵¹ sons,¹¹²¹ hath born
4:16 And Naomi⁵²⁸¹ took³⁹⁴⁷ the child,³²⁰⁶ and laid⁷⁸⁹⁶ it in her bosom,²⁴³⁶ and became nurse
4:17 And the women her neighbours⁷⁹³⁴ gave⁷¹²¹ it a name,⁸⁰³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ There is a son¹¹²¹ born³²⁰⁵ to Naomi;⁵²⁸¹ and they called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Obed:⁵⁷⁴⁴ he [is] the father¹ of Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ the father¹ of David.
4:18 Now these [are] the generations⁸⁴³⁵ of Pharez:⁶⁵⁵⁷ Pharez⁶⁵⁵⁷ begat³²⁰⁵ Hezron,
4:19 And Hezron²⁶⁹⁶ begat³²⁰⁵ Ram,⁷⁴¹⁰ and Ram⁷⁴¹⁰ begat³²⁰⁵ Amminadab,
4:20 And Amminadab⁵⁹⁹² begat³²⁰⁵ Nahshon,⁵¹⁷⁷ and Nahshon⁵¹⁷⁷ begat³²⁰⁵ Salmon,
4:21 And Salmon⁸⁰¹² begat³²⁰⁵ Boaz,¹¹⁶² and Boaz¹¹⁶² begat³²⁰⁵ Obed,
4:22^C And Obed⁵⁷⁴⁴ begat³²⁰⁵ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ and Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ begat³²⁰⁵ David.
