Ruth 4:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot.

⁹ And he said to the ancients and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and Chelion's, and Mahalon's, of the hand of Noemi:

¹⁰ And have taken to wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.
