Ruth 4:1

¶ Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

Then went {H5927} Boaz {H1162} up {H5927} to the gate {H8179}, and sat him down {H3427} there: and, behold, the kinsman {H1350} of whom Boaz {H1162} spake {H1696} came {H5674} by; unto whom he said {H559}, Ho {H1945}, such {H6423} a one {H492}! turn aside {H5493}, sit down {H3427} here. And he turned aside {H5493}, and sat down {H3427}.

Meanwhile, Bo'az had gone up to the gate and had sat down there, when the redeemer of whom Bo'az had spoken passed by. "Such-and-such," he said, "come over, and sit down"; so he came over and sat down.

Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer 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.

Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
