I invite you to accompany me in reading the last chapter of Ruth' s Book, in the Old Testament of the Bible, chapter four of Ruth' s Book. That' s what God' s word says. You went up to the door and sat there and here passed the relative of whom You had spoken and said," Oh, Fulano, come here and sit down, and he came and sat down" Then he took ten men from the
elders of the city and said sit here and they sat down. Then he said to the brother- in- law who has returned from the camp of moab, he sells a portion of the land that our brother, the Ibelech, had, and I decided to let you know and tell you to buy it in the presence of those sitting here and the elders of my people. If you want to redeem, redeem and if you do not want to redeem, declare it to me so that I may know, for there is no one else to redeem, but you and I. After you and he answered,
I will redeem then you replied. On the same day that you buy the land from the hand of our mother, you must also take Ruth the Moabite, the wife of the deceased, to restore the dead' s name over his possession and the relative answered I cannot redeem. For me, lest it harm my inheritance. Redeem yourself using my right because I won' t
be able to redeem. For a long time there had been this custom in Israel concerning redemption and the contract which, for the confirmation of any business, one took off one' s shoe and gave it to his companion and this served as a testimony in Israel. Then the relative told you to take it
yourself and took off your shoe. And thou saidst unto the elders and to all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have acquired from the hand of Naomi all that was of Elimelech and all that was of Kelion and Malon, and that I also take Ruth the Moabite wife of Malon for my wife, to restore the name of the deceased upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead man may not be blotted out from among his brethren,
and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today and said all of the people who were at the gate with the elders witnesses are Jehovah Make the woman who enters your house as Rachel and reads which built the house of Israel and you are illustrious in Ephrathah and you are renowned in Bethlehem and let your house be like the house of phares who tamar gave to Judah for the seed of that young woman the LORD gives you a voice, for he
took Ruth and she was his wife and came to her and Jehovah gave her to conceive and give to Luz a son and the women said to Naomi praise
be Jehovah who made you not want. Today kinsman whose name will be celebrated in Israel, who will be a restorer of your soul and sustain your old age, for your daughter- in- law who loves you has given it to Luz and she is of greater value to you than seven children and taking it not in me, the son put it in his supplication and went his find and named it the neighbors, saying that a son was born to Naomi and they called him Obed. This is the father of Jesse, the father
of David. These are the Fares generations. He begat Esron Esron, fathered Ram, and Ram begot Amminab Amminadab begot Nahashon and Naason. She begot Salmon. Salmon begot Voz and Boaz. He begot Obed. Obed begat Jesse and Jesse begat David.
