Ruth 4:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ Now formerly in Israel this was the custom concerning redeeming and exchanging. To confirm a transaction, a man pulled off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the way of attesting in Israel.

⁸ Therefore, when the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself, he pulled off his sandal.

⁹ And Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s from the hand of Naomi.
