Ruth 4:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ Moreover, I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the deceased for an inheritance so that the name of the deceased not disappear from among his brethren nor from the gates of his native place. You are witnesses today.”

¹¹ All the people who were in the gateway and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel. May you prosper in Ephrathah and be renowned in Bethlehem. ¹² May your home be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the children that the Lord will give you through this young woman.”
