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.
Ver. 9. Ye are witnesses this day.] Fit witnesses ye are, because eyewitnesses: and faithful I hope ye will be, if I need your testimony. Boaz's care was to make all sure in his new purchase: so it was Abraham's. Genesis 23:13,18 Jeremiah 32:10,11 ; Jer 32:25
