Ruth 4:1-7 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. And behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by, to whom he said, Such man, stay, turn aside. Sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. And behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by, to whom he said, Such man, stay, turn aside. Sit down here. And he turned aside and sat down. ² And he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, Sit you* down here. And they sat down.
³ And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come again out of the country of Moab, sells the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's. ⁴ And I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit here and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, then tell me that I may know, for there is none to redeem it besides you and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it. ⁵ Then Boaz said, That day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. ⁶ And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself lest I mar my own inheritance. You take my right of redemption on you, for I cannot redeem it.
⁷ Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: A man drew off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. And this was the manner of attestation in Israel.
