Ruth 4:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Ruth 4:2
Witnesses assembled: 'And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here'. Boaz gathered required witnesses—ten elders representing the community. This number ensured legal validity and demonstrated the transaction's public, official nature. The specific number 'ten' later became the minimum for Jewish legal proceedings (minyan). Boaz's careful assembly of proper witnesses shows his determination that the redemption be legally unassailable and publicly recognized.
