Ruth 4:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Now this was the custom in ancient Israel concerning redeeming, changing and establishing all things: a man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. And this was a sure witness in Israel.

⁸ Therefore, the kinsman said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.” And he took off his shoe.

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