\chapterNumber{1}Now it came to pass in the days|strong="H3117" when the judges|strong="H8199" ruled|strong="H8199", that there was a famine|strong="H7458" in the land|strong="H0776". And a certain man|strong="H0376" of Beth-lehem-judah|strong="H1035" went|strong="H3212" to sojourn|strong="H1481" in the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124", he, and his wife|strong="H0802", and his two|strong="H8147" sons|strong="H1121".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.1  }ruled: Heb. judged} 
\verseNumber{2}And the name|strong="H8034" of the man|strong="H0376" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} Elimelech|strong="H0458", and the name|strong="H8034" of his wife|strong="H0802" Naomi|strong="H5281", and the name|strong="H8034" of his two|strong="H8147" sons|strong="H1121" Mahlon|strong="H4248" and Chilion|strong="H3630", Ephrathites|strong="H0673" of Beth-lehem-judah|strong="H1035". And they came|strong="H0935" into the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124", and continued there.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.2  }continued: Heb. were} 
\verseNumber{3}And Elimelech|strong="H0458" Naomi’s|strong="H5281" husband|strong="H0376" died|strong="H4191"; and she was left|strong="H7604", and her two|strong="H8147" sons|strong="H1121". 
\verseNumber{4}And they took|strong="H5375" them wives|strong="H0802" of the women|strong="H0802" of Moab|strong="H4125"; the name|strong="H8034" of the one|strong="H0259" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} Orpah|strong="H6204", and the name|strong="H8034" of the other|strong="H8145" Ruth|strong="H7327": and they dwelled|strong="H3427" there about ten|strong="H6235" years|strong="H8141". 
\verseNumber{5}And Mahlon|strong="H4248" and Chilion|strong="H3630" died|strong="H4191" also both|strong="H8147" of them; and the woman|strong="H0802" was left|strong="H7604" of her two|strong="H8147" sons|strong="H3206" and her husband|strong="H0376".

\verseNumber{6}¶ Then she arose|strong="H6965" with her daughters in law|strong="H3618", that she might return|strong="H7725" from the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124": for she had heard|strong="H8085" in the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124" how that the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} had visited|strong="H6485" his people|strong="H5971" in giving|strong="H5414" them bread|strong="H3899". 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore she went forth|strong="H3318" out of the place|strong="H4725" where she was, and her two|strong="H8147" daughters in law|strong="H3618" with her; and they went|strong="H3212" on the way|strong="H1870" to return|strong="H7725" unto the land|strong="H0776" of Judah|strong="H3063". 
\verseNumber{8}And Naomi|strong="H5281" said|strong="H0559" unto her two|strong="H8147" daughters in law|strong="H3618", Go|strong="H3212", return|strong="H7725" each|strong="H0802" to her mother’s|strong="H0517" house|strong="H1004": the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} deal|strong="H6213" kindly|strong="H2617" with you, as ye have dealt|strong="H6213" with the dead|strong="H4191", and with me. 
\verseNumber{9}The \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} grant|strong="H5414" you that ye may find|strong="H4672" rest|strong="H4496", each|strong="H0802" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{of you} in the house|strong="H1004" of her husband|strong="H0376". Then she kissed|strong="H5401" them; and they lifted up|strong="H5375" their voice|strong="H6963", and wept|strong="H1058". 
\verseNumber{10}And they said|strong="H0559" unto her, Surely we will return|strong="H7725" with thee unto thy people|strong="H5971". 
\verseNumber{11}And Naomi|strong="H5281" said|strong="H0559", Turn again|strong="H7725", my daughters|strong="H1323": why will ye go|strong="H3212" with me? \BibleCharacterStyleADD{are} there yet \BibleCharacterStyleADD{any more} sons|strong="H1121" in my womb|strong="H4578", that they may be your husbands|strong="H0582"? 
\verseNumber{12}Turn again|strong="H7725", my daughters|strong="H1323", go|strong="H3212" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{your way;} for I am too old|strong="H2204" to have an husband|strong="H0376". If I should say|strong="H0559", I have|strong="H3426" hope|strong="H8615", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{if} I should have an husband|strong="H0376" also to night|strong="H3915", and should also bear|strong="H3205" sons|strong="H1121";\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.12  }should have…: or were with an husband} 
\verseNumber{13}Would ye tarry|strong="H7663" for them|strong="H3860" till they were grown|strong="H1431"? would ye stay|strong="H5702" for them|strong="H3860" from having husbands|strong="H0376"? nay, my daughters|strong="H1323"; for it grieveth|strong="H4843" me much|strong="H3966" for your sakes that the hand|strong="H3027" of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} is gone out|strong="H3318" against me.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.13  }tarry: Heb. hope}\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.13  it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness} 
\verseNumber{14}And they lifted up|strong="H5375" their voice|strong="H6963", and wept again|strong="H1058": and Orpah|strong="H6204" kissed|strong="H5401" her mother in law|strong="H2545"; but Ruth|strong="H7327" clave|strong="H1692" unto her. 
\verseNumber{15}And she said|strong="H0559", Behold, thy sister in law|strong="H2994" is gone back|strong="H7725" unto her people|strong="H5971", and unto her gods|strong="H0430": return|strong="H7725" thou after|strong="H0310" thy sister in law|strong="H2994". 
\verseNumber{16}And Ruth|strong="H7327" said|strong="H0559", Intreat|strong="H6293" me not to leave|strong="H5800" thee, \BibleCharacterStyleADD{or} to return|strong="H7725" from following after|strong="H0310" thee: for whither thou goest|strong="H3212", I will go|strong="H3212"; and where thou lodgest|strong="H3885", I will lodge|strong="H3885": thy people|strong="H5971" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{shall be} my people|strong="H5971", and thy God|strong="H0430" my God|strong="H0430":\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.16  }Intreat…: or, Be not against me} 
\verseNumber{17}Where thou diest|strong="H4191", will I die|strong="H4191", and there will I be buried|strong="H6912": the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} do|strong="H6213" so to me, and more|strong="H3254" also, \BibleCharacterStyleADD{if ought} but death|strong="H4194" part|strong="H6504" thee and me. 
\verseNumber{18}When she saw|strong="H7200" that she was stedfastly minded|strong="H0553" to go|strong="H3212" with her, then she left|strong="H2308" speaking|strong="H1696" unto her.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.18  }was…: Heb. strengthened herself} 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{19}¶ So they two|strong="H8147" went|strong="H3212" until they came|strong="H0935" to Beth-lehem|strong="H1035". And it came to pass, when they were come|strong="H0935" to Beth-lehem|strong="H1035", that all the city|strong="H5892" was moved|strong="H1949" about them, and they said|strong="H0559", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{Is} this Naomi|strong="H5281"? 
\verseNumber{20}And she said|strong="H0559" unto them, Call|strong="H7121" me not Naomi|strong="H5281", call|strong="H7121" me Mara|strong="H4755": for the Almighty|strong="H7706" hath dealt very|strong="H3966" bitterly|strong="H4843" with me.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.20  }Naomi: that is, Pleasant}\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.20  Mara: that is, Bitter} 
\verseNumber{21}I went out|strong="H1980" full|strong="H4392", and the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} hath brought me home again|strong="H7725" empty|strong="H7387": why \BibleCharacterStyleADD{then} call|strong="H7121" ye me Naomi|strong="H5281", seeing the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} hath testified|strong="H6030" against me, and the Almighty|strong="H7706" hath afflicted|strong="H7489" me? 
\verseNumber{22}So Naomi|strong="H5281" returned|strong="H7725", and Ruth|strong="H7327" the Moabitess|strong="H4125", her daughter in law|strong="H3618", with her, which returned|strong="H7725" out of the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124": and they came|strong="H0935" to Beth-lehem|strong="H1035" in the beginning|strong="H8462" of barley|strong="H8184" harvest|strong="H7105". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}And Naomi|strong="H5281" had a kinsman|strong="H4129" of her husband’s|strong="H0376", a mighty|strong="H1368" man|strong="H0376" of wealth|strong="H2428", of the family|strong="H4940" of Elimelech|strong="H0458"; and his name|strong="H8034" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} Boaz|strong="H1162".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.1  }Boaz: Gr. Booz} 
\verseNumber{2}And Ruth|strong="H7327" the Moabitess|strong="H4125" said|strong="H0559" unto Naomi|strong="H5281", Let me now go|strong="H3212" to the field|strong="H7704", and glean|strong="H3950" ears of corn|strong="H7641" after|strong="H0310" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{him} in whose sight|strong="H5869" I shall find|strong="H4672" grace|strong="H2580". And she said|strong="H0559" unto her, Go|strong="H3212", my daughter|strong="H1323". 
\verseNumber{3}And she went|strong="H3212", and came|strong="H0935", and gleaned|strong="H3950" in the field|strong="H7704" after|strong="H0310" the reapers|strong="H7114": and her hap|strong="H4745" was to light|strong="H7136" on a part|strong="H2513" of the field|strong="H7704" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{belonging} unto Boaz|strong="H1162", who \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} of the kindred|strong="H4940" of Elimelech|strong="H0458".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.3  }hap…: Heb. hap happened} 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{4}¶ And, behold, Boaz|strong="H1162" came|strong="H0935" from Beth-lehem|strong="H1035", and said|strong="H0559" unto the reapers|strong="H7114", The \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} with you. And they answered|strong="H0559" him, The \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} bless|strong="H1288" thee. 
\verseNumber{5}Then said|strong="H0559" Boaz|strong="H1162" unto his servant|strong="H5288" that was set|strong="H5324" over the reapers|strong="H7114", Whose damsel|strong="H5291" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} this? 
\verseNumber{6}And the servant|strong="H5288" that was set|strong="H5324" over the reapers|strong="H7114" answered|strong="H6030" and said|strong="H0559", It \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} the Moabitish|strong="H4125" damsel|strong="H5291" that came back|strong="H7725" with Naomi|strong="H5281" out of the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124": 
\verseNumber{7}And she said|strong="H0559", I pray you, let me glean|strong="H3950" and gather|strong="H0622" after|strong="H0310" the reapers|strong="H7114" among the sheaves|strong="H6016": so she came|strong="H0935", and hath continued|strong="H5975" even|strong="H0227" from the morning|strong="H1242" until now, that she tarried|strong="H3427" a little|strong="H4592" in the house|strong="H1004". 
\verseNumber{8}Then said|strong="H0559" Boaz|strong="H1162" unto Ruth|strong="H7327", Hearest|strong="H8085" thou not, my daughter|strong="H1323"? Go|strong="H3212" not to glean|strong="H3950" in another|strong="H0312" field|strong="H7704", neither go|strong="H5674" from hence, but abide|strong="H1692" here fast by my maidens|strong="H5291": 
\verseNumber{9}\BibleCharacterStyleADD{Let} thine eyes|strong="H5869" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} on the field|strong="H7704" that they do reap|strong="H7114", and go|strong="H1980" thou after|strong="H0310" them: have I not charged|strong="H6680" the young men|strong="H5288" that they shall not touch|strong="H5060" thee? and when thou art athirst|strong="H6770", go|strong="H1980" unto the vessels|strong="H3627", and drink|strong="H8354" of \BibleCharacterStyleADD{that} which the young men|strong="H5288" have drawn|strong="H7579". 
\verseNumber{10}Then she fell|strong="H5307" on her face|strong="H6440", and bowed|strong="H7812" herself to the ground|strong="H0776", and said|strong="H0559" unto him, Why have I found|strong="H4672" grace|strong="H2580" in thine eyes|strong="H5869", that thou shouldest take knowledge|strong="H5234" of me, seeing I \BibleCharacterStyleADD{am} a stranger|strong="H5237"? 
\verseNumber{11}And Boaz|strong="H1162" answered|strong="H6030" and said|strong="H0559" unto her, It hath fully|strong="H5046" been shewed|strong="H5046" me, all that thou hast done|strong="H6213" unto thy mother in law|strong="H2545" since|strong="H0310" the death|strong="H4194" of thine husband|strong="H0376": and \BibleCharacterStyleADD{how} thou hast left|strong="H5800" thy father|strong="H0001" and thy mother|strong="H0517", and the land|strong="H0776" of thy nativity|strong="H4138", and art come|strong="H3212" unto a people|strong="H5971" which thou knewest|strong="H3045" not heretofore|strong="H8543". 
\verseNumber{12}The \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} recompense|strong="H7999" thy work|strong="H6467", and a full|strong="H8003" reward|strong="H4909" be given thee of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} God|strong="H0430" of Israel|strong="H3478", under whose wings|strong="H3671" thou art come|strong="H0935" to trust|strong="H2620". 
\verseNumber{13}Then she said|strong="H0559", Let me find|strong="H4672" favour|strong="H2580" in thy sight|strong="H5869", my lord|strong="H0113"; for that thou hast comforted|strong="H5162" me, and for that thou hast spoken|strong="H1696" friendly|strong="H3820" unto thine handmaid|strong="H8198", though I be not like unto one|strong="H0259" of thine handmaidens|strong="H8198".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.13  }Let me…: or, I find}\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.13  friendly: Heb. to the heart} 
\verseNumber{14}And Boaz|strong="H1162" said|strong="H0559" unto her, At mealtime|strong="H6256" come|strong="H5066" thou hither|strong="H1988", and eat|strong="H0398" of the bread|strong="H3899", and dip|strong="H2881" thy morsel|strong="H6595" in the vinegar|strong="H2558". And she sat|strong="H3427" beside|strong="H6654" the reapers|strong="H7114": and he reached|strong="H6642" her parched|strong="H7039" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{corn}, and she did eat|strong="H0398", and was sufficed|strong="H7646", and left|strong="H3498". 
\verseNumber{15}And when she was risen up|strong="H6965" to glean|strong="H3950", Boaz|strong="H1162" commanded|strong="H6680" his young men|strong="H5288", saying|strong="H0559", Let her glean|strong="H3950" even among the sheaves|strong="H6016", and reproach|strong="H3637" her not:\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.15  }reproach…: Heb. shame her not} 
\verseNumber{16}And let fall|strong="H7997" also \BibleCharacterStyleADD{some} of the handfuls|strong="H6653" of purpose|strong="H7997" for her, and leave|strong="H5800" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{them}, that she may glean|strong="H3950" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{them}, and rebuke|strong="H1605" her not. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{17}So she gleaned|strong="H3950" in the field|strong="H7704" until even|strong="H6153", and beat out|strong="H2251" that she had gleaned|strong="H3950": and it was about an ephah|strong="H0374" of barley|strong="H8184". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{18}¶ And she took \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} up|strong="H5375", and went|strong="H0935" into the city|strong="H5892": and her mother in law|strong="H2545" saw|strong="H7200" what she had gleaned|strong="H3950": and she brought forth|strong="H3318", and gave|strong="H5414" to her that she had reserved|strong="H3498" after she was sufficed|strong="H7648". 
\verseNumber{19}And her mother in law|strong="H2545" said|strong="H0559" unto her, Where hast thou gleaned|strong="H3950" to day|strong="H3117"? and where|strong="H0375" wroughtest|strong="H6213" thou? blessed|strong="H1288" be he that did take knowledge|strong="H5234" of thee. And she shewed|strong="H5046" her mother in law|strong="H2545" with whom she had wrought|strong="H6213", and said|strong="H0559", The man’s|strong="H0376" name|strong="H8034" with whom I wrought|strong="H6213" to day|strong="H3117" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} Boaz|strong="H1162". 
\verseNumber{20}And Naomi|strong="H5281" said|strong="H0559" unto her daughter in law|strong="H3618", Blessed|strong="H1288" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} he of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*}, who hath not left off|strong="H5800" his kindness|strong="H2617" to the living|strong="H2416" and to the dead|strong="H4191". And Naomi|strong="H5281" said|strong="H0559" unto her, The man|strong="H0376" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} near of kin|strong="H7138" unto us, one of our next kinsmen|strong="H1350".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.20  }one of…: or, one that hath right to redeem} 
\verseNumber{21}And Ruth|strong="H7327" the Moabitess|strong="H4125" said|strong="H0559", He said|strong="H0559" unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast|strong="H1692" by my young men|strong="H5288", until they have ended|strong="H3615" all my harvest|strong="H7105". 
\verseNumber{22}And Naomi|strong="H5281" said|strong="H0559" unto Ruth|strong="H7327" her daughter in law|strong="H3618", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{It is} good|strong="H2896", my daughter|strong="H1323", that thou go out|strong="H3318" with his maidens|strong="H5291", that they meet|strong="H6293" thee not in any other|strong="H0312" field|strong="H7704".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.22  }meet…: or, fall upon thee} 
\verseNumber{23}So she kept fast|strong="H1692" by the maidens|strong="H5291" of Boaz|strong="H1162" to glean|strong="H3950" unto the end|strong="H3615" of barley|strong="H8184" harvest|strong="H7105" and of wheat|strong="H2406" harvest|strong="H7105"; and dwelt|strong="H3427" with her mother in law|strong="H2545". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Then Naomi|strong="H5281" her mother in law|strong="H2545" said|strong="H0559" unto her, My daughter|strong="H1323", shall I not seek|strong="H1245" rest|strong="H4494" for thee, that it may be well|strong="H3190" with thee? 
\verseNumber{2}And now \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} not Boaz|strong="H1162" of our kindred|strong="H4130", with whose maidens|strong="H5291" thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth|strong="H2219" barley|strong="H8184" to night|strong="H3915" in the threshingfloor|strong="H1637". 
\verseNumber{3}Wash|strong="H7364" thyself therefore, and anoint|strong="H5480" thee, and put|strong="H7760" thy raiment|strong="H8071" upon thee, and get thee down|strong="H3381" to the floor|strong="H1637": \BibleCharacterStyleADD{but} make not thyself known|strong="H3045" unto the man|strong="H0376", until he shall have done|strong="H3615" eating|strong="H0398" and drinking|strong="H8354". 
\verseNumber{4}And it shall be, when he lieth down|strong="H7901", that thou shalt mark|strong="H3045" the place|strong="H4725" where he shall lie|strong="H7901", and thou shalt go in|strong="H0935", and uncover|strong="H1540" his feet|strong="H4772", and lay thee down|strong="H7901"; and he will tell|strong="H5046" thee what thou shalt do|strong="H6213".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{3.4  }uncover: or, lift up the clothes that are on}

\verseNumber{8}¶ And it came to pass at midnight|strong="H2677", that the man|strong="H0376" was afraid|strong="H2729", and turned|strong="H3943" himself: and, behold, a woman|strong="H0802" lay|strong="H7901" at his feet|strong="H4772".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{3.8  }turned: or, took hold on} 
\verseNumber{9}And he said|strong="H0559", Who \BibleCharacterStyleADD{art} thou?

\verseNumber{10}And he said|strong="H0559", Blessed|strong="H1288" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} thou of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*}, my daughter|strong="H1323": \BibleCharacterStyleADD{for} thou hast shewed|strong="H3190" more kindness|strong="H2617" in the latter end|strong="H0314" than at the beginning|strong="H7223", inasmuch as thou followedst|strong="H3212" not|strong="H1115" young men|strong="H0970", whether poor|strong="H1800" or rich|strong="H6223". 
\verseNumber{11}And now, my daughter|strong="H1323", fear|strong="H3372" not; I will do|strong="H6213" to thee all that thou requirest|strong="H0559": for all the city|strong="H8179" of my people|strong="H5971" doth know|strong="H3045" that thou \BibleCharacterStyleADD{art} a virtuous|strong="H2428" woman|strong="H0802".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{3.11  }city: Heb. gate}

\verseNumber{13}Tarry|strong="H3885" this night|strong="H3915", and it shall be in the morning|strong="H1242", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{that} if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman|strong="H1350", well|strong="H2896"; let him do the kinsman’s part|strong="H1350": but if he will|strong="H2654" not do the part of a kinsman|strong="H1350" to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman|strong="H1350" to thee, \BibleCharacterStyleADD{as} the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} liveth|strong="H2416": lie down|strong="H7901" until the morning|strong="H1242". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{14}¶ And she lay|strong="H7901" at his feet|strong="H4772" until the morning|strong="H1242": and she rose up|strong="H6965" before|strong="H2958" one|strong="H0376" could know|strong="H5234" another|strong="H7453". And he said|strong="H0559", Let it not be known|strong="H3045" that a woman|strong="H0802" came|strong="H0935" into the floor|strong="H1637". 
\verseNumber{15}Also he said|strong="H0559", Bring|strong="H3051" the vail|strong="H4304" that \BibleCharacterStyleADD{thou hast} upon thee, and hold|strong="H0270" it.

\verseNumber{17}And she said|strong="H0559", These six|strong="H8337" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{measures} of barley|strong="H8184" gave|strong="H5414" he me; for he said|strong="H0559" to me, Go|strong="H0935" not empty|strong="H7387" unto thy mother in law|strong="H2545". 
\verseNumber{18}Then said|strong="H0559" she, Sit still|strong="H3427", my daughter|strong="H1323", until thou know|strong="H3045" how the matter|strong="H1697" will fall|strong="H5307": for the man|strong="H0376" will not be in rest|strong="H8252", until|strong="H0518" he have finished|strong="H3615" the thing|strong="H1697" this day|strong="H3117".

\chapterNumber{4}Then went|strong="H5927" Boaz|strong="H1162" up|strong="H5927" to the gate|strong="H8179", and sat him down|strong="H3427" there: and, behold, the kinsman|strong="H1350" of whom Boaz|strong="H1162" spake|strong="H1696" came|strong="H5674" by; unto whom he said|strong="H0559", Ho|strong="H1945", such|strong="H6423" a one|strong="H0492"! turn aside|strong="H5493", sit down|strong="H3427" here. And he turned aside|strong="H5493", and sat down|strong="H3427". 
\verseNumber{2}And he took|strong="H3947" ten|strong="H6235" men|strong="H0582" of the elders|strong="H2205" of the city|strong="H5892", and said|strong="H0559", Sit ye down|strong="H3427" here. And they sat down|strong="H3427". 
\verseNumber{3}And he said|strong="H0559" unto the kinsman|strong="H1350", Naomi|strong="H5281", that is come again|strong="H7725" out of the country|strong="H7704" of Moab|strong="H4124", selleth|strong="H4376" a parcel|strong="H2513" of land|strong="H7704", which \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} our brother|strong="H0251" Elimelech’s|strong="H0458": 
\verseNumber{4}And I thought|strong="H0559" to advertise|strong="H1540" thee, saying|strong="H0559", Buy|strong="H7069" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} before the inhabitants|strong="H3427", and before the elders|strong="H2205" of my people|strong="H5971". If thou wilt redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it}, redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it:} but if thou wilt not redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it, then} tell|strong="H5046" me, that I may know|strong="H3045": for \BibleCharacterStyleADD{there is} none to redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} beside|strong="H2108" thee; and I \BibleCharacterStyleADD{am} after|strong="H0310" thee. And he said|strong="H0559", I will redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it}.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{4.4  }I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear} 
\verseNumber{5}Then said|strong="H0559" Boaz|strong="H1162", What day|strong="H3117" thou buyest|strong="H7069" the field|strong="H7704" of the hand|strong="H3027" of Naomi|strong="H5281", thou must buy|strong="H7069" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} also of Ruth|strong="H7327" the Moabitess|strong="H4125", the wife|strong="H0802" of the dead|strong="H4191", to raise up|strong="H6965" the name|strong="H8034" of the dead|strong="H4191" upon his inheritance|strong="H5159". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{6}¶ And the kinsman|strong="H1350" said|strong="H0559", I cannot|strong="H3201" redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} for myself, lest I mar|strong="H7843" mine own inheritance|strong="H5159": redeem|strong="H1350" thou my right|strong="H1353" to thyself; for I cannot|strong="H3201" redeem|strong="H1350" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it}. 
\verseNumber{7}Now this \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was the manner} in former time|strong="H6440" in Israel|strong="H3478" concerning redeeming|strong="H1353" and concerning changing|strong="H8545", for to confirm|strong="H6965" all things|strong="H1697"; a man|strong="H0376" plucked off|strong="H8025" his shoe|strong="H5275", and gave|strong="H5414" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} to his neighbour|strong="H7453": and this \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} a testimony|strong="H8584" in Israel|strong="H3478". 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore the kinsman|strong="H1350" said|strong="H0559" unto Boaz|strong="H1162", Buy|strong="H7069" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} for thee. So he drew off|strong="H8025" his shoe|strong="H5275".
