Rut 4
Menge-Bibel 1939
7Nun bestand ehemals in Israel beim Lösen wie beim Tauschen der Brauch, daß, wenn man irgendeinen Handel fest abmachen wollte, der eine seinen Schuh auszog und ihn dem andern gab; dies galt als Beglaubigung in Israel.
Reina-Valera 1909
7Había ya de largo tiempo esta costumbre en Israel en la redención ó contrato, que para la confirmación de cualquier negocio, el uno se quitaba el zapato y lo daba á su compañero: y este era el testimonio en Israel.
King James Version
7Now 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.
World English Bible
7Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.
