Take my right of redemption for yourself, for I cannot redeem it.' 7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redemption and exchange: to confirm a transaction, a man took off his sandal and gave it to the other party; this was the manner of attestation in Israel. 8 So the kinsman said to Boaz, 'Buy it for yourself.'
