       Ruth 4:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
       4 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and,
       behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he
       said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned
       aside, and sat down.
       2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit
       ye down here. And they sat down.
       Ruth 4:1-2 New Life Version (NLV)
       Boaz Marries Ruth
       4 Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. He saw the in-law
       of the family that he had spoken about pass by. So Boaz said,
       “Come here, friend, and sit down.” So the man came and sat down.
       2 And Boaz took ten of the leaders of the city and said, “Sit
       down here.” So they sat down.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       1 Boaz went to the gate because at this time it was where the
       men commonly met, he went to find Ruth’s next of kin to talk to
       him as he told her he would. Boaz finds him and talks to him, we
       should not put off what we tell others we will do.
       2 The leaders are there both to make sure they keep the law and
       that they could be witnesses to what happened. Boaz had a right
       to marry Ruth if this man didn’t according to the law but if
       this man claimed that he would marry her and Boaz already did it
       was seen as adultery.
