Ruth 4:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ The man answered, “If that's the case, I don't want to buy it! That would make problems with the property I already own.^[a] You may buy it yourself, because I cannot.”

^7 (A) To make a sale legal in those days, one person would take off a sandal and give it to the other. ⁸ So after the man had agreed to let Boaz buy the property, he took off one of his sandals and handed it to Boaz.
