## translationNotes
* **kinsman nearer than I** - It was the duty of the closest male relative to help the widow.
* **do the part of a kinsman** - This phrase translates a single Hebrew word. It means "marry you and father children for your dead husband."
* **by the life of Yahweh** - "as surely as Yahweh lives." This was a common form of a Hebrew vow.
