²² Then Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that ^(A)you have chosen the Lord, to serve him.” And they said, “We are witnesses.”

⁹ Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to ^(A)Chilion and to Mahlon.

^10 (A)I signed the deed, ^(B)sealed it, ^(C)got witnesses, and ^(D)weighed the money on scales.

¹² And I gave the deed of purchase to ^(A)Baruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of ^(B)the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in ^(C)the court of the guard.

²⁵ Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, ^(A)“Buy the field for money ^(B)and get witnesses”—though ^(C)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’”

⁴⁴ Fields shall be bought for money, and ^(A)deeds shall be signed and ^(B)sealed and ^(C)witnessed, ^(D)in the land of Benjamin, ^(E)in the places about Jerusalem, ^(F)and in the cities of Judah, ^(G)in the cities of the hill country, ^(H)in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb; for ^(I)I will restore their fortunes, declares the Lord.”
