Rut 4

In Israel †war (galt) früher dies bezüglich Lösung und Tauschgeschäft, um irgendetwas Gültigkeit zu verleihen: Man zog seinen Schuh aus und gab ihn dem anderen (man zog seinen seinen Schuh aus und gab ihn einander). Und dies †war (galt) †dann in Israel †als Bezeugung.

Había 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.

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.

Now 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.
