Ruth 4:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so ^(A)that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the ^[a]court of his birth place; you are witnesses today.” ¹¹ All the people who were in the ^[b]court, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home ^(B)like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve ^[c]wealth in Ephrathah and ^[d]become famous in Bethlehem. ¹² Moreover, may your house be like the house of ^(C)Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the ^[e]offspring which the Lord will give you by this young woman.”
