‏ Ruth 4:10

10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife to raise up a descendant who will inherit his property ^{▼▼tn Heb “in order to raise up the name of the deceased over his inheritance” (NASB similar).} so the name of the deceased might not disappear ^{▼▼tn Heb “be cut off” (so NASB, NRSV); NAB “may not perish.”} from among his relatives and from his village. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and from the gate of his place” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “from the court of his birth place”; NIV84 “from the town records”; NIV11 “from his hometown.”} You are witnesses today.”
