Ruth 4:8-10

The Voice

Kinsman-Redeemer: It’s now your responsibility.

Boaz (to the elders and all the people): ⁹ Every one of you have witnessed what happened here today. I secured the rights to everything that belonged to Elimelech and his sons, Mahlon and Chilion, from Naomi. ¹⁰ I have also taken responsibility for Ruth—the woman from Moab who was married to Mahlon. She will become my wife. I will see to it that his family and this city remember Mahlon. I will raise children who will bear his name and make sure his property stays in the family. You are all witnesses to this today.
