Ruth 4:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 (A) You are also witnesses that I have agreed to marry Mahlon's widow Ruth, the Moabite woman. This will keep the property in his family's name, and he will be remembered in this town.
11 (B) The town leaders and the others standing there said:
We are witnesses to this. And we pray that the Lord will give your wife many children, just as he did Leah and Rachel, the wives of Jacob. May you be a rich man in the tribe of Ephrath and an important man in Bethlehem. 12 (C) May the children you have by this young woman make your family as famous as the family of Perez,[a] the son of Tamar and Judah.
