And he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who has returned from the land of Moab, has to sell the plot of land (B)which belonged to our brother Elimelech. So I thought that I would [a]inform you, saying, ‘(C)Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if [b]not, tell me so that I may know; for (D)there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you.’” And he said, “I will redeem it.”
