And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
Entonces Booz dijo a los ancianos y a todo el pueblo: 'Ustedes son testigos hoy de que he comprado de Noemí todo lo que pertenecía a Elimelec, y todo lo que pertenecía a Quilión y Mahlón.'
Booz declara públicamente ante testigos que ha comprado todas las propiedades de la familia de Elimelec a Noemí.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel during the time of the Judges, land ownership was vital for a family's survival and inheritance, as it represented their economic security and legacy. When Naomi's husband Elimelech and their sons died, their land became vulnerable to being sold or lost, leading Naomi to return to her homeland with her daughter-in-law Ruth. Boaz, as a close relative, publicly claims the redemption of this land in front of witnesses at the city gate, following the cultural practice of levirate redemption to restore the family's property and lineage.
