6 At this, the nearer related redeemer replied, |Then I am unable to act as related redeemer, because that would complicate my own inheritance. You act instead as the related redeemer, because I cannot do so.| 7 During Israel's earlier history, all things concerning redeeming or changing inheritances were confirmed by a man taking off his sandal and giving it to the other party, thereby creating a public record in Israel. 8 So when the nearer related redeemer told Boaz, |Make the purchase yourself,| he then took off his sandal.
