Ruth 4:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders,
said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come
into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build
the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be
famous in Bethlehem:
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar
bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of
this young woman.
Ruth 4:11-12 New Life Version (NLV)
11 All the people in the gate and the leaders said, “We have
heard it. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your
home like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of
Israel. May you become rich in Ephrathah and be known by all in
Bethlehem. 12 May your house be like the house of Perez, the son
of Judah and Tamar, because of the children the Lord will give
you by this young woman.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
11 So the elders accept what had just happened and agree to tell
they saw it happen if they needed to be witnesses. Rachel and
Leah were the two wives of Jacob. So now they are blessing him,
Boaz name would become known.
12 They are going back to story of their ancestry; most likely
they were all desendents of Judah. Tamar tricked Judah and she
had Perez, they are using this story to say God will provide a
child.
