So he turned aside and sat down. 2 And he took ten men from the elders of the city and said, 'Sit down here.' And they sat down. 3 Then he said to the kinsman, 'Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, is selling a piece of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech. 4 So I thought to inform you, saying, Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one to redeem it besides you, and I come after you.'
