Ruth 4:9,10

And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. (10) Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

There is a great deal of force in these expressions considered spiritually, and with an eye to Jesus. He hath purchased all that was Elimelech's; all that was our original inheritance in Adam. Angels arc witnesses of the blessed conditions in the covenant. The same sons of God which shouted for joy at creation, sang glory to God in the view of redemption; and are to grace our Lord's return, we are told, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe. Oh! dearest condescending Jesus, hast thou indeed purchased all that belongs to us? Didst thou bear our sins, and carry our sorrows, and in all our affliction wast thou afflicted! Witness, ye angels of light, the unequalled love of our Jesus! Oh! for grace to love him who hath so loved us.
