New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Then the elders and all the people at the gate said, “We are witnesses. The woman is coming into your home. May the Lord make her like Rachel and Leah. Together they built up the family of Israel. May you be an important person in Ephrathah. May you be famous in Bethlehem. ¹² The Lord will give you children through this young woman. May your family be like the family of Perez. He was the son Tamar had by Judah.”
