*
Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging ,
to confirm anything :
one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other ,
and this was a confirmation in Israel .
*
Therefore the close relative said to Boaz , "
Buy it for yourself ."
So he took off his sandal .
*
And Boaz said to the elders and all the people , "
You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech '
s ,
and all that was Chilion '
s and Mahlon '
s ,
from the hand of Naomi .
*
Moreover ,
Ruth the Moabitess ,
the widow of Mahlon ,
I have acquired as my wife ,
to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance ,
that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate .
You are witnesses this day ."
