2 And he took ten men of athe elders of the city, and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down.
3 Then he said to the close relative, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of land awhich belonged to our brother Elimelech.
4 And I thought to inform you, saying, a‘Buy it back bin the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if2 you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; cfor there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.’ ” And he said, “I will redeem it.”
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, ato perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance.”
6 aAnd the close relative said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance. You redeem my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
