Ruth 4:5 in Context — Ruth 4

3 Logo disse ao parente: Noemi, que voltou do campo de Moabe, vende uma parte das terras que teve nosso irmão Elimeleque;

4 E eu decidi fazê-lo saber a ti, e dizer-te que a tomes diante dos que estão aqui sentados, e diante dos anciãos de meu povo. Se houveres de redimir, redime; e se não quiseres redimir, declara-o a mim para que eu o saiba: porque não há outro que redima a não ser tu, e eu depois de ti. E ele respondeu: Eu redimirei.

5 Então replicou Boaz: O mesmo dia que tomares as terras da mão de Noemi, hás de tomar também a Rute moabita, mulher do defunto, para que suscites o nome do morto sobre sua possessão.

6 E respondeu o parente: Não posso redimir por minha parte, porque lançaria a perder minha propriedade: redime tu usando de meu direito, porque eu não poderei redimir.

7 Havia já de longo tempo este costume em Israel na remissão ou contrato, que para a confirmação de qualquer negócio, o um se tirava o sapato e o dava a seu companheiro: e este era o testemunho em Israel.
