Ruth 4:5-7
English Standard Version
5 Then Boaz said, “The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth[a] the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order (A)to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.” 6 (B)Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
7 (C)Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel.
