Ruth 4:9-12

9 And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, Ye this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
10 Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye this day witnesses.
11 And all the people who were in the gate said, witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name in Bethleem.
12 And let thy house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this handmaid.
