Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.
Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer (note: The Hebrew word for kinsman-redeemer or guardian-redeemer is a legal term for the kinsman who redeems or vindicates a relative; also in verses 3, 6, 8, and 14; see Leviticus 25:25–55.) of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.
