Ruth 4:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ (In Israel this used to be the custom regarding the transfer of the right of redemption: To confirm every transfer, one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other party. This was the way of ratifying a transfer in Israel.)

⁸ So the redeemer said to Boaz, “Acquire it for yourself!” Then he took off his sandal.

⁹ Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I have acquired from the hand of Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelek and everything that belonged to Kilion and Mahlon.
