Where else “nachalat” appearsThe Hebrew of this verse is difficult; the written text (ketiv) says “I acquire,” and the traditional reading (qere), followed here, “you acquire.” From verse 10 it can be understood that whoever acquired the field also had to take Ruth as wife, so that the first son would bear the name of the dead husband and inherit his land (Deuteronomy 25:5-6).
4And I said to myself: I will let you know, saying, ‘Acquire it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem, redeem; but if one does not redeem, tell me, so that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem, and I am after you.’” And he said, “I will redeem.”
