Ruth 4:2 in Context — Ruth 4

1 E Boaz subiu à porta da cidade e sentou-se ali: e eis que passava aquele parente do qual havia Boaz falado, e disse-lhe: Ei, fulano, vem aqui e senta-te. E ele veio, e sentou-se.

2 Então ele tomou dez homens dos anciãos da cidade, e disse: Sentai-vos aqui. E eles se sentaram.

3 Logo disse ao parente: Noemi, que voltou do campo de Moabe, vende uma parte das terras que teve nosso irmão Elimeleque;

4 E eu decidi fazê-lo saber a ti, e dizer-te que a tomes diante dos que estão aqui sentados, e diante dos anciãos de meu povo. Se houveres de redimir, redime; e se não quiseres redimir, declara-o a mim para que eu o saiba: porque não há outro que redima a não ser tu, e eu depois de ti. E ele respondeu: Eu redimirei.
