7 וְזֹאת֩ לְפָנִ֨ים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל עַל־ הַגְּאוּלָּ֤ה וְעַל־ הַתְּמוּרָה֙ לְקַיֵּ֣ם כָּל־ דָּבָ֔ר שָׁלַ֥ף אִ֛ישׁ נַעֲל֖וֹ וְנָתַ֣ן לְרֵעֵ֑הוּ וְזֹ֥את הַתְּעוּדָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel. (Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel.)
8 וַיֹּ֧אמֶר הַגֹּאֵ֛ל לְבֹ֖עַז קְנֵה־ לָ֑ךְ וַיִּשְׁלֹ֖ף נַעֲלֽוֹ׃ So when the redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” he drew off his sandal. So the guardian-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy it yourself.” And he removed his sandal.
