Boaz Marries Ruth (Ruth 4:9-11)
ReplyDeleteThen Boaz said to the leaders and to the crowd standing around, “You are witnesses today I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelech, Kilion and Mahlon. And with the land I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Mahlon, to be my wife. This way she can have a son to carry on the family name of her dead husband and to inherit the family property here in his hometown. You are all my witnesses today.
