Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
Ahora bien, esta era la costumbre en tiempos antiguos en Israel cuando se trataba de redimir propiedades e intercambiar. Para hacer oficial cualquier trato, un hombre se quitaba la sandalia y se la daba a la otra persona. Esto servía como prueba del acuerdo en Israel.
En el antiguo Israel, quitarse la sandalia y entregarla era la forma oficial de confirmar acuerdos de compra o intercambio de propiedades.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israelite society, the act of removing a shoe was a customary ritual to confirm legal agreements, such as redeeming property or transferring rights, symbolizing the transfer of possession in a public and binding way. This practice ensured that transactions were witnessed and could not be easily disputed, serving as a tangible testimony in a culture that valued oral and symbolic commitments. In the Book of Ruth, this custom is depicted during Boaz's redemption of Naomi's land and Ruth's marriage, highlighting the importance of family lineage and inheritance in Israelite law.
