'Sandal' in the Bible
that I will not take a thread or sandal strap or anything that belongs to you, so you can never say, ‘I made Abram rich.’
then his sister-in-law will go up to him in the sight of the elders, remove his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. Then she will declare, ‘This is what is done to a man who will not build up his brother’s house.’
And his family name in Israel will be called ‘The house of the man whose sandal was removed.’
At an earlier period in Israel, a man removed his sandal and gave it to the other party in order to make any matter legally binding concerning the right of redemption or the exchange of property. This was the method of legally binding a transaction in Israel.
So the redeemer removed his sandal and said to Boaz, “Buy back the property yourself.”
Moab is My washbasin.I throw My sandal on Edom;I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab is My washbasin;I throw My sandal on Edom.I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
None of them grows weary or stumbles;no one slumbers or sleeps.No belt is looseand no sandal strap broken.
He is the One coming after me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.”
