A. THE PURCHASE

Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the

near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by: unto whom he said, "Ho, such a

one! turn aside, sit down here." And he turned aside, and sat down.

And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit ye down

here." And they sat down.

And he said unto the near kinsman, "Naomi, that is come again out of the

country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother

Elimelech's: and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, 'Buy it

before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people.' If thou

wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me,

that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am

after thee."
