Ruth 4:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon. ¹⁰ Furthermore, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so ^(A)that the name of the deceased will not be eliminated from his brothers or from the ^[a]court of his birth place; you are witnesses today.” ¹¹ And all the people who were ^[b]in the court, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home ^(B)like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve ^[c]wealth in Ephrathah and ^[d]become famous in Bethlehem.
