Ruth:4:8-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz ,
Buy it for thee .
So he drew off his shoe .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Naomi took the child ,
and laid it in her bosom ,
and became nurse unto it .
*
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 .
*
Now these are the generations of Pharez :
Pharez begat Hezron ,
*
And Hezron begat Ram ,
and Ram begat Amminadab ,
*
And Amminadab begat Nahshon ,
and Nahshon begat Salmon ,
*
And Salmon begat Boaz ,
and Boaz begat Obed ,
*
And Obed begat Jesse ,
and Jesse begat David .
