Ruth 4 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Marriage of Ruth

Now Boaz^H1162 went^H5927 up^H5927 to the gate^H8179 and sat^H3427 down^H3427 there^H8033, and behold^H2009, the redeemer^H1350 of whom^H834 Boaz^H1162 spoke^H1696 was passing^H5674 by^H5674, so he said^H559, “Come^H5493 over^H5493 here^H5493, [fn]friend^H6423^H492, sit^H3427 down^H3427 here^H6311.” And he came^H5493 over^H5493 and sat^H3427 down^H3427.

Rth 4:2

Rth 4:2Then he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.

Rth 4:3

Rth 4:3And he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, has to sell the plot of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

Rth 4:4

Rth 4:4“So I thought that I would [fn]inform you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if [fn]not, tell me so that I may know; for there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you.’” And he said, “I will redeem it.”

Rth 4:5

Rth 4:5Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”

Rth 4:6

Rth 4:6Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, otherwise I would [fn]jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, since I cannot redeem it.”

Rth 4:7

Now this^H2088 was the custom in former^H6440 times^H6440 in Israel^H3478 concerning^H5921 the redemption^H1353 and the exchange^H8545 of land to confirm^H6965 any^H3605 matter^H1697: a man^H376 removed^H8025 his sandal^H5275 and gave^H5414 it to another^H7453; and this^H2088 was the way of confirmation^H8584 in Israel^H3478.

Rth 4:8

Rth 4:8So the redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” And he removed his sandal.

Rth 4:9

Rth 4:9Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon.

Rth 4:10

Rth 4:10“Furthermore, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be eliminated from his brothers or from the [fn]court of his birth place; you are witnesses today.”

Rth 4:11

Rth 4:11And all the people who were [fn]in the court, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve [fn]wealth in Ephrathah and [fn]become famous in Bethlehem.

Rth 4:12

Rth 4:12“Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the [fn]descendants whom the LORD will give you by this young woman.”

(Mat 1:2–6 )

Rth 4:13

So Boaz^H1162 took^H3947 Ruth^H7327, and she became^H1961 his wife^H802, and he had^H935 relations^H935 with^H935 her. And the LORD^H3068 [fn]enabled^H5414 her to conceive^H2032, and she gave^H3205 birth^H3205 to a son^H1121.

Rth 4:14

Rth 4:14Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name [fn]become famous in Israel.

Rth 4:15

Rth 4:15“May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you [fn]and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”

The Line of David

Rth 4:16

Rth 4:16Then Naomi took the child and [fn]laid him in her lap, and became his nurse.

Rth 4:17

Rth 4:17And the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi!” So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Rth 4:18

Now these^H428 are the generations^H8435 of Perez^H6557: Perez^H6557 fathered^H3205 Hezron^H2696,

Rth 4:19

Rth 4:19Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab,

Rth 4:20

Rth 4:20and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon,

Rth 4:21

Rth 4:21and Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Obed,

Rth 4:22

Rth 4:22and Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
