6 The near kinsman said, |I can't redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it.| 7 Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of attestation in Israel. 8 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, |Buy it for yourself.| And he took off his sandal and gave it to him.
