路得記 4:7

從前，在以色列中要定奪甚麼事，或贖回，或交易，這人就脫鞋給那人。以色列人都以此為證據。

cóng qián ， zài yǐ sè liè zhōng yào dìng duó shén me shì ， huò shú huí ， huò jiāo yì ， zhè rén jiù tuō xié gěi nà rén 。 yǐ sè liè rén dōu yǐ cǐ wèi zhèng jù 。

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.
