6 And the redeemer saith, 'I am not able to redeem 'it' for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'
7 And this 'is' formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given 'it' to his neighbour, and this 'is' the testimony in Israel.
8 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, 'Buy 'it' for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.
9 And Boaz saith to the elders, and 'to' all the people, 'Witnesses 'are' ye to-day that I have bought all that 'is' to Elimelech, and all that 'is' to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;
10 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye 'are' to-day.'
