Ruth 4:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Then Boaz chose ten men from the elders of the town, and he said, “Sit down here!” They too sat down.

³ Then he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who returned from the territory of Moab, is putting up for sale^[a] the piece of land that belongs to our brother Elimelek. ⁴ On my part, I thought I should call it to your attention so that you may acquire it in the presence of these residents and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you wish to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not wish to redeem it, declare that to me. I know that there is no one ahead of you in the right to redeem, but I am right after you.”

So the man said, “Yes, I will redeem it.”
