Rut 4

Bible Darby

7Or c’était jadis [une coutume] en Israël, en cas de rachat et d’échange, que, pour confirmer toute affaire, l’un ôtait sa sandale et la donnait à l’autre ; c’était là une coutume en Israël.

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.
