Ruth 4:6-8 ▼

6 The kinsman-redeemer replied, “I cannot redeem it (Prep:: 1cs) -- myself, or I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption, because I cannot redeem it.”

7 Now in former times in Israel, concerning the redemption or exchange of property, to make any matter legally binding a man would remove his sandal and give it to the other party, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

8 So the kinsman-redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself.”
