תלמוד על רות 4:7

HALAKHAH: “Guaranteed properties,” etc. In earlier times, transfer of possession was effected by taking off a shoe. That is what is written⁴⁷⁵Ruth 4:7.: “This was earlier in Israel about redemption and exchange, a person would take off his shoe.” Who took it off? There, they say Rav and Levi⁴⁷⁶In the Babli, Baba meṣia‘ 47a, the first opinion is attributed to Rav, the second to Levi. In the Babli, the transaction is not considered as archaic but as current practice, meaning that claims can be validly transferred following Rav when the transferrer moves some of the acquirer’s movable property., one said the acquirer, and one said the transferer. It turns out that this disagreement parallels the following disagreement which was stated: Boaz was giving to the redeemer; Rebbi Jehudah said that the redeemer gave to Boaz.
