Ruth 4:8

New English Translation

⁸So the guardian said to Boaz, “You may acquire it,” and he removed his sandal.^[a]

Ruth 4:8 tc The LXX adds “and gave it to him” (cf. TEV, CEV), which presupposes the reading ויתן לו. This seems to be a clarifying addition (see v. 7), but it is possible the scribe’s eye jumped from the final ו (vav) on נַעֲלוֹ (naʿalo, “his sandal”) to the final ו (vav) on לוֹ (lo, “to him”), accidentally omitting the intervening letters.

Ruth 4:8

New International Version

⁸So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it yourself.” And he removed his sandal.^(A)

⁸Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
