7 (This is the way it used to be in Israel concerning buying back property and exchanging goods: In order to make every matter legal, a man would take off his sandal and give it to the other man. This was the way a contract was publicly approved in Israel.)

8 So when the man said to Boaz, |Buy it for yourself,| he took off his sandal.
