📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, the story of Ruth unfolds during the time of the Judges, a period marked by social instability and moral challenges, where family redemption was a key cultural practice. Boaz was seeking to act as a kinsman-redeemer by purchasing Naomi's land and marrying Ruth, but another relative had the prior claim, leading to a public transaction. The removal of the shoe was a traditional legal ceremony that symbolized the transfer of rights, ensuring the agreement was binding and witnessed by the community.
