Verse 12 is found in chapter 3 of Ruth. Boaz acknowledges that there is another relative closer than he is. This revelation introduces a legal and family limitation that prevents Boaz from acting simply according to his personal desire. Boaz’s integrity is connected with respecting the order of kinship before exercising any right of redemption.
