Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to establish anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was an attestation in Israel.

Therefore the kinsman redeemer said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself; and he drew off his sandal.

at that time Jehovah spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth off your loins, and take your sandal off your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

And he preached, saying, There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

It is He who, arriving after me, appeared in history before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.

And Jehovah said to Moses, If her father had but spat in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she shall be brought in.

They abhor me, they keep far from me; they do not refrain from spitting in my face.

I gave My back to those who strike, and My cheeks to those who pluck; I hid not My face from shame and spitting.

Then they spat in His face and beat Him with the fist; and others slapped Him,

And they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

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

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

And the thing which he did made the eye of Jehovah quiver; therefore He killed him also.

Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day.

And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.

Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel says: I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now Jehovah says: Far be it from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
