Ruth 4:11

All the people at the gate and the elders said: ”We are witnesses!
[Since Biblical Hebrew does not have a word for yes, the people respond by repeating Boaz’s last word edim, we are witnesses.]
May the Lord (Yahweh) make the woman who enters your house [home here in Bethlehem] like Rachel and Leah, the two women who built the house of Israel.
[Jacob, whom God later named Israel, bore twelve sons by them and their concubines, see Gen. 29:31–30:24.]
May you become mighty (honorable, strong, victorious, successful) [cf. Ruth 2:1; 3:11].
in the area of Ephrathah [the area around Bethlehem]
and your name be widely known (literally ’name a person’)
in Bethlehem. [Mic. 5:2; Matt. 2:1, 5]

καὶ εἴποσαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οἱ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ μάρτυρες καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι εἴποσαν δῴη κύριος τὴν γυναῖκά σου τὴν εἰσπορευομένην εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς Ραχηλ καὶ ὡς Λειαν αἳ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἀμφότεραι τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησαν δύναμιν ἐν Εφραθα καὶ ἔσται ὄνομα ἐν Βαιθλεεμ
