Ruth 4:6-8

61The 2closestH1350 relativeH1350 saidH559, “I cannotH3201H3808 redeemH1350 it for myself, becauseH6435 I would 3jeopardizeH7843 my own inheritanceH5159. RedeemH1350 it for yourself; you may have my rightH1353 of redemptionH1353, for I cannotH3201H3808 redeemH1350 it.”

7Now thisH2088 was 4the custom in formerH6440 timesH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerningH5921 the redemptionH1353 and the exchangeH8545 of land to confirmH6965 anyH3605 matterH1697: a manH376 removedH8025 his sandalH5275 and gaveH5414 it to anotherH7453; and thisH2088 was the manner of attestationH8584 in IsraelH3478. 8So the 5closestH1350 relativeH1350 saidH559 to BoazH1162, “BuyH7069 it for yourself.” And he removedH8025 his sandalH5275.
