לְקַיֵּם כָּל־דָּבָר שָׁלַף אִישׁ נַעֲלוֹ וְנָתַן לְרֵעֵהוּ וְזֹאת הַתְּעוּדָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל׃
וַיֹּאמֶר הַגֹּאֵל לְבֹעַז קְנֵה־לָךְ וַיִּשְׁלֹף נַעֲלוֹ׃ וַיֹּאמֶר בֹּעַז לַזְּקֵנִים וְכָל־
הָעָם עֵדִים אַתֶּם הַיּוֹם כִּי קָנִיתִי אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לֶאֱלִימֶלֶךְ וְאֵת כָּל־
אֲשֶׁר לְכִלְיוֹן וּמַחְלוֹן מִיַּד נָעֳמִי׃ וְגַם אֶת־רוּת הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּה אֵשֶׁת מַחְלוֹן
קָנִיתִי לִי לְאִשָּׁה לְהָקִים שֵׁם־הַמֵּת עַל־נַחֲלָתוֹ וְלֹא־יִכָּרֵת שֵׁם־
הַמֵּת מֵעִם אֶחָיו וּמִשַּׁעַר מְקוֹמוֹ עֵדִים אַתֶּם הַיּוֹם׃ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל־
הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־בַּשַּׁעַר וְהַזְּקֵנִים עֵדִים יִתֵּן יְהוָה אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה הַבָּאָה
אֶל־בֵּיתֶךָ כְּרָחֵל ׀ וּכְלֵאָה אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ שְׁתֵּיהֶם אֶת־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וַעֲשֵׂה־
חַיִל בְּאֶפְרָתָה וּקְרָא־שֵׁם בְּבֵית לָחֶם׃ וִיהִי בֵיתְךָ כְּבֵית פֶּרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־
יָלְדָה תָמָר לִיהוּדָה מִן־הַזֶּרַע אֲשֶׁר יִתֵּן יְהוָה לְךָ מִן־הַנַּעֲרָה הַזֹּאת׃
וַיִּקַּח בֹּעַז אֶת־רוּת וַתְּהִי־לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה וַיָּבֹא אֵלֶיהָ וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה לָהּ הֵרָיוֹן
וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן׃ וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הַנָּשִׁים אֶל־נָעֳמִי בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא הִשְׁבִּית
לָךְ גֹּאֵל הַיּוֹם וְיִקָּרֵא שְׁמוֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ וְהָיָה לָךְ לְמֵשִׁיב נֶפֶשׁ וּלְכַלְכֵּל
אֶת־שֵׂיבָתֵךְ כִּי כַלָּתֵךְ אֲשֶׁר־אֲהֵבַתֶךְ יְלָדַתּוּ אֲשֶׁר־הִיא טוֹבָה לָךְ
מִשִּׁבְעָה בָּנִים׃ וַתִּקַּח נָעֳמִי אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וַתְּשִׁתֵהוּ בְחֵיקָהּ וַתְּהִי־לוֹ
לְאֹמֶנֶת׃ וַתִּקְרֶאנָה לוֹ הַשְּׁכֵנוֹת שֵׁם לֵאמֹר יֻלַּד־בֵּן לְנָעֳמִי וַתִּקְרֶאנָה
שְׁמוֹ עוֹבֵד הוּא אֲבִי־יִשַׁי אֲבִי דָוִד׃
וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדוֹת פֶּרֶץ פֶּרֶץ הוֹלִיד אֶת־חֶצְרוֹן׃ וְחֶצְרוֹן הוֹלִיד אֶת־
רָם וְרָם הוֹלִיד אֶת־עַמִּינָדָב׃ וְעַמִּינָדָב הוֹלִיד אֶת־נַחְשׁוֹן וְנַחְשׁוֹן
הוֹלִיד אֶת־שַׂלְמָה׃ וְשַׂלְמוֹן הוֹלִיד אֶת־בֹּעַז וּבֹעַז הוֹלִיד אֶת־עוֹבֵד׃
וְעֹבֵד הוֹלִיד אֶת־יִשָׁי וְיִשַׁי הוֹלִיד אֶת־דָּוִד׃

shoe, and would hand it to the other: that was the bond then recognized among Israel. And now this redeemer said to Boaz, "Take possession." And he took off his shoe. "You bear witness on this day," said Boaz to the elders and to all the people present, "that I take possession of all that was Elimelekh's, and all that was Kilyon's and Mahlon's, from Naomi's hand. And with it I take Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon's wife, to be mine, to rebuild the name of the dead on his estate. And the dead man's name will not be cut off from among his brothers, from the gate of his home town – you are my witnesses this day." And all the people at the gate, and the elders, said, "We bear witness. May the LORD make the woman who is joining your house like Rachel and like Leah, who together built the house of Israel; may you go from strength to strength in Efrata, and your name be ever spoken in Bethlehem. And may your house be as the house of Peretz, whom Tamar bore to Judah, growing from the seed that the LORD will give you from this young woman." And so it was that Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he came to her; the LORD granted her conception, and she bore a son. And the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not withheld your redeemer on this day – may the child's name be spoken in all Israel. And may he restore your spirit, and sustain your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, she has borne him: she who is better to you than seven sons could be." Naomi took the child and fed him in her bosom, and became his nurse. And her neighbors named him, saying, "A son is born for Naomi!" They called him Oved. And that was Oved the father of Jesse, the father of David. This is the line of Peretz: Hetzron was born to Peretz. Ram was born to Hetzron; Aminadav was born to Ram. Nahshon was born to Aminadav; Salma was born to Nahshon. Boaz was born to Salma; Oved was born to Boaz. And Jesse was born to Oved – and to Jesse, David was born.
