Ruth 4:9-12

[9] And Boaz  said  unto the elders,  and unto all the people,  Ye are witnesses  this day,  that I have bought  all that was Elimelech's,  and all that was Chilion's  and Mahlon's,  of the hand  of Naomi.  [10] Moreover Ruth  the Moabitess,  the wife  of Mahlon,  have I purchased  to be my wife,  to raise up  the name  of the dead  upon his inheritance,  that the name  of the dead  be not cut off  from among  his brethren,  and from the gate  of his place:  ye are witnesses  this day.  [11] And all the people  that were in the gate,  and the elders,  said,  We are witnesses.  The LORD  make  the woman  that is come  into thine house  like Rachel  and like Leah,  which two  did build  the house  of Israel:  and do  thou worthily  in Ephratah,  and be famous  in Bethlehem:  [12] And let thy house  of Pharez,  whom Tamar  bare  unto Judah,  of the seed  which the LORD  shall give  thee of this young woman.
