And he came and was seated. 2 Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats. 3 Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's: 4 And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people.
