And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor that redeemed his right; and this was [for] a testimony in Israel.

And the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy my right for yourself. And he took off his shoe and gave it to him.

then the Lord spoke to Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and loose your sandals from off your feet, and do thus, going naked and barefoot.

And he was preaching, saying, "There comes One after me who is stronger than me, of whom I am not worthy to stoop down and to loose the strap of His sandal.

He is the [One] who comes after me, who has come to be before me, of whom I am not worthy that I should loose the strap of His sandal."

And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be set apart seven days outside the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.

And they stood aloof and abhorred me, and spared not to spit in my face.

I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting;

Then they spat in His face, and beat Him with [their] fists; and they slapped [Him],

And spitting on Him, they took the reed and were striking [Him] on His head.

and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again."

And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your brother.

And his doing this appeared evil before God; and He killed him also.

Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brothers, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] witnesses this day.

And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses; and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your house, as Rachel and as Leah, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to you] in Bethlehem.

Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before Me forever: but now the Lord says, Far be it from Me; for I will only honor them that honor Me, and he that despises Me shall be despised.
