Ruth4:2
2 And he took ten men , of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sate down.
To be Umpires or Witnesses between them: for though two or three Witnesses were sufficient, yet in weightier Matters they used more. And ten was the usual Number among the Iews, in Causes of Matrimony and Divorce, and Translation of Inheritances; who were both Judges of the Causes, and Witnesses of the Fact. See 1 King. 21. 8.
