Ruth 4:10-12
Living Bible
10 and that with it I have purchased Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife, so that she can have a son to carry on the family name of her dead husband.”
11 And all the people standing there and the witnesses replied, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who has now come into your home, as fertile as Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of Israel descended! May you be a great and successful man in Bethlehem, 12 and may the descendants the Lord will give you from this young woman be as numerous and honorable as those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah.”

11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate(E) said, “We are witnesses.(F) May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah,(G) who together built up the family of Israel.
