1 ♥ 📝 N ow Boaz^H1162 went^H5927 up^H5927 to the gate,^H8179 and sat him down^H3427 there: and, behold, the near kinsman^H1350 of whom Boaz^H1162 spake^H1696 came^H5674 by; unto whom he said,^H559 Ho,^H1945 such^H6423 a one!^H492 turn aside,^H5493 sit down^H3427 here.

2 ♥ 📝 And he took^H3947 ten^H6235 men^H582 of the elders^H2205 of the city,^H5892 and said,^H559 Sit ye down^H3427 here. And they sat down.^H3427

4 ♥ 📝 And I thought^H559 to disclose^H1540 it unto thee, saying,^H559 Buy^H7069 it before them^H3427 that sit here, and before the elders^H2205 of my people.^H5971 If thou wilt redeem^H1350 it, redeem^H1350 it: but if thou wilt not redeem^H1350 it, then tell^H5046 me, that I may know;^H3045 for there is none to redeem^H1350 it besides^H2108 thee; and I am after^H310 thee.

11 ♥ 📝 And all the people^H5971 that were in the gate,^H8179 and the elders,^H2205 said,^H559 We are witnesses.^H5707 Jehovah^H3068 make^H5414 the woman^H802 that is come^H935 into thy house^H1004 like Rachel^H7354 and like Leah,^H3812 which two^H8147 did build^H1129 the house^H1004 of Israel:^H3478 and do^H6213 thou worthily^H2428 in Ephrathah,^H672 and be famous^H7121 in Beth-lehem:^H1035

14 ♥ 📝 And the women^H802 said^H559 unto Naomi,^H5281 Blessed^H1288 be Jehovah,^H3068 who hath not left^H7673 thee this day^H3117 without a near kinsman;^H1350 and let his name^H8034 be famous^H7121 in Israel.^H3478

15 ♥ 📝 And he shall be unto thee a restorer^H7725 of life,^H5315 and a nourisher^H3557 of thine old age,^H7872 for thy daughter-in-law,^H3618 who loveth^H157 thee, who is better^H2896 to thee than seven^H7651 sons,^H1121 hath borne^H3205 him.

16 ♥ 📝 And Naomi^H5281 took^H3947 the child,^H3206 and laid^H7896 it in her bosom,^H2436 and became nurse^H539 unto it.
