Ruth 4:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Now for a long time in Israel there had been this custom concerning redemption or contracts, that for the confirmation of all matters: one plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour, and this was a testimony in Israel.

⁸ Therefore, the former owner of the right of redemption said unto Boaz, Buy it thyself. So he drew off his shoe.

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