Ruth 4:11 in Context — Ruth 4

9 E Boaz disse aos anciãos e a todo aquele povo: Vós sois hoje testemunhas de que tomo todas as coisas que foram de Elimeleque, e tudo o que foi de Quiliom e de Malom, da mão de Noemi.

10 E que também tomo por minha mulher a Rute moabita, mulher de Malom, para suscitar o nome do defunto sobre sua herança, para que o nome do morto não se apague dentre seus irmãos e da porta de seu lugar. Vós sois hoje testemunhas.

11 E disseram todos os do povo que estavam à porta com os anciãos: Testemunhas somos. O SENHOR faça à mulher que entra em tua casa como a Raquel e a Lia, as quais duas edificaram a casa de Israel; e tu sejas ilustre em Efrata, e tenhas renome em Belém.

12 E da semente que o SENHOR te der desta moça, seja tua casa como a casa de Perez, o que Tamar deu a Judá.

13 Então Boaz tomou a Rute, e ela foi sua mulher; e logo que entrou a ela, o SENHOR lhe deu que concebesse e desse à luz um filho.
