Ruth 4:10-13 Moreover, Ruth, the Moabite wife of Mahlon, I have acquired for myself as a wife, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his allotment, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his kinsmen and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Moreover, Ruth, the Moabite wife of Mahlon, I have acquired for myself as a wife, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his allotment, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his kinsmen and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today. ¹¹ All the people in the gate and the elders replied, We are witnesses! And the elders said, May Yahweh grant to the woman who is coming to your house to be like Rachel and like Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel! Perform ably in Ephrathah, and proclaim a name in Bethlehem!" ¹² May your house become like the house of Perez whom Thamar bore for Judah, from the seed which Yahweh shall give to you from this maiden. ¹³ So Boaz took Ruth; she became his wife, and he came to her. Yahweh granted her pregnancy, and she bore a son.
