Rute 4:7

7 Este era, outrora, o costume em Israel, quanto a resgates e permutas: o que queria confirmar qualquer negócio tirava o calçado e o dava ao seu parceiro; assim se confirmava negócio em Israel.

7 Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
