Ye are witnesses.
Gn. 23:16‑18• 16Entonces Abraham se convino con Ephrón, y pesó Abraham á Ephrón el dinero que dijo, oyéndolo los hijos de Heth, cuatrocientos siclos de plata, de buena ley entre mercaderes.
 17Y quedó la heredad de Ephrón que estaba en Macpela enfrente de Mamre, la heredad y la cueva que estaba en ella, y todos los árboles que había en la heredad, y en todo su término al derredor,
 18Por de Abraham en posesión, á vista de los hijos de Heth, y de todos los que entraban por la puerta de la ciudad. (Gn. 23:16‑18)
;
Jer. 32:10‑12• 10Y escribí la carta, y selléla, é hice atestiguar á testigos, y pesé el dinero con balanza.
 11Tomé luego la carta de venta, sellada según el derecho y costumbre, y el traslado abierto.
 12Y dí la carta de venta á Baruch hijo de Nerías, hijo de Maasías, delante de Hanameel el hijo de mi tío, y delante de los testigos que habían suscrito en la carta de venta, delante de todos los Judíos que estaban en el patio de la cárcel. (Jer. 32:10‑12)

• In truth, God magnifies His grace towards us, inasmuch as we have no claim, nor link with Israel. We cannot in any way take the ground of kinsmanship with Jesus. (“Ruth 4” by W. Kelly)
• In connection then with the term “Kinsman-Redeemer” I merely make this remark, that it has a beauty and a force in speaking about Israel in which, as far as I am aware, it is not applied in any part of the direct scriptures which speak of us Gentiles that are brought in now in the infinite grace of God. (“Ruth 4” by W. Kelly)
• The nearest relative removes his sandal—the law cedes its rights to Christ: rights that are acknowledged by the witnesses brought together for this very purpose. (“Ruth 4” by H.L. Rossier)
