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.
