25 “‘If your brother becomes poor and has to sell some of his property, a repurchaser who is closely related to him must come and buy back what his brother sold.+

5 “If brothers dwell together and one of them dies without having a son, the wife of the dead one should not marry someone from outside the family. Her brother-in-law should go to her, take her as his wife, and perform brother-in-law marriage with her.+ 6 The firstborn whom she will bear will carry on the name of his dead brother,+ so that his name may not be wiped out of Israel.+

9 He said: “Who are you?” She replied: “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread out your garment* over your servant, for you are a repurchaser.”+

12 While it is true that I am a repurchaser,+ there is a repurchaser more closely related than I am.+
