Ruth 4:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Ruth 4:11

9 And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, ^athat the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from¹ his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day.”

11 And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. ^aThe Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who ^bbuilt the house of Israel; and may you prosper in ^cEphrathah and be famous in ^dBethlehem.

12 May your house be like the house of ^aPerez, ^bwhom Tamar bore to Judah, because of ^cthe offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman.”

Descendants of Boaz and Ruth

13 So Boaz ^atook Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, ^bthe Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

14 Then ^athe women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a¹ close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!
