Ruth 4:6-8

6The kinsman-redeemerH1350 repliedH559, “I cannotH3808H3201 redeem itH1350 myself, orH6435 I would jeopardizeH7843 my own inheritanceH5159. Take my right of redemptionH1353H1350H859, becauseH3588 I cannotH3808H3201 redeem itH1350.”

7NowH2063 in former timesH6440 in IsraelH3478, concerningH5921 the redemptionH1353H5921 or exchange of propertyH8545, to make anyH3605 matterH1697 legally bindingH6965 a manH376 would removeH8025 his sandalH5275 and give itH5414 to the other partyH7453, and thisH2063 was a confirmationH8584 in IsraelH3478. 8So the kinsman-redeemerH1350 removedH8025 his sandalH5275 and saidH559 to BoazH1162, “BuyH7069 it for yourself.”
