“And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:”
Boaz's presentation of the case to the nearer kinsman-redeemer, beginning with the information that Naomi is selling the parcel of land that belonged to Elimelech, establishes the first legal matter that must be addressed. The mention of Elimelech's land introduces the concept of property redemption and the kinsman-redeemer's obligation to maintain the integrity of family property. Boaz's precise recitation of the facts demonstrates his careful attention to legal procedure and his commitment to ensuring that all parties understand the matter under consideration.
