Ruth 4:9 in Context — Ruth 4

7 Havia já de longo tempo este costume em Israel na remissão ou contrato, que para a confirmação de qualquer negócio, o um se tirava o sapato e o dava a seu companheiro: e este era o testemunho em Israel.

8 Então o parente disse a Boaz: Toma-o tu. E descalçou seu sapato.

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.
