RUT 4:10

10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Machlon, have I purchased to be my wife, lahakim [(to raise up, resurrect)] the shem hamet [(name of the dead man)] upon his nachalah, that the shem of the dead man be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the sha'ar of his place; ye are edim [(witnesses)] HaYom.
