CLV(i)
7 Now this was the custom beforetime in Israel, concerning redemption and exchange, to confirm every matter:A man would pull off his sandal and give it to his associate; this was the attestation in Israel.
8 So the kinsman redeemer said to Boaz, Acquire it for yourself. And he pulled off his sandal and gave it to him.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, You are witnesses today that I have acquired all that Elimelech had and all that Chilion and Mahlon had, from the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover, Ruth, the Moabite wife of Mahlon, I have acquired for myself as a wife, in order to raise up the name of the dead on his allotment, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his kinsmen and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.
