"If your brother becomes so poor that he has to a sell portion of his inheritance, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold.

If a person doesn't have a kinsman redeemer, but has become rich and found sufficient means for his redemption,

If a kinsman redeemer decides to redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to your valuation."

And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am your handmaid Ruth. And you shall spread your skirt over your handmaid, for you are a kinsman-redeemer.

And now it is true that I am your kinsman-redeemer. But there is also a kinsman nearer than I.

And the redeemer said, "I am not able to redeem for myself, lest I ruin my inheritance. You redeem for yourself my kinsman-redemption, for I am not able to redeem [it]."
