*
And he took ten men of the elders of the city ,
and said ,
Sit ye down here .
And they sat down .
*
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 :
*
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 .

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 .
