題目：神垂青的生命就是如此！ - 路得記 4:5-8

(1) 高度自律的信德靈性 (vv.5-6)
- “קָנָה (買/獲得/acquire)” 這個動詞，棄用了上節(v.4)中的“גָּאַל (贖)”
(2) 在平凡中立成主的工作 (vv.7-8)

和合本：
5. 波阿斯說：「你從拿俄米手中買這地的時候，也當娶死人的妻摩押女子路得，使死人在產業上存留他的名。」
6. 那人說：「這樣我就不能贖了，恐怕於我的產業有礙。你可以贖我所當贖的，我不能贖了。」
7. 從前，在以色列中要定奪甚麼事，或贖回，或交易，這人就脫鞋給那人。以色列人都以此為證據。
8. 那人對波阿斯說：「你自己買吧！」

NET:
4:5 Then Boaz said, “When you acquire the field from Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of our deceased relative, in order to preserve his family name by raising up a descendant who will inherit his property.”
4:6 The guardian said, “Then I am unable to redeem it, for I would ruin my own inheritance in that case. You may exercise my redemption option, for I am unable to redeem it.”
4:7 (Now this used to be the customary way to finalize a transaction involving redemption in Israel: A man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party. This was a legally binding act in Israel.)
4:8 So the guardian said to Boaz, “You may acquire it,” and he removed his sandal.
