וַיֹּ֧אמֶר הַגֹּאֵ֛ל לְבֹ֖עַז קְנֵה־לָ֑ךְ וַיִּשְׁלֹ֖ף נַעֲלֽוֹ׃
At sinabi ng kamag-anak na manunubos kay Boaz: “Ikaw na ang bumili nito para sa iyong sarili.” At hinubad niya ang kanyang sandalyas.
Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim
MISHNAH: What are the institutions of the returnees from Babylonia? For example, the Temple Mount, the courtyards63The Temple courtyards., and the cistern in the middle of the road64Traditionally made for pilgrims.. What are the institutions of that town? For example, the town square, the bathhouse, the synagogue with the ark and the scrolls. And he writes his part to the Patriarch65In the case of Mishnah 4, if each one writes over his part of the public institutions of the town to the Patriarch, both of them are permitted to walk in the town and to use its institutions..
Rebbi Jehudah says, one of them writes to the Patriarch and the other to a private person72This is a continuation of the previous Mishnah. R. Jehudah permits either of the parties to donate their usufruct of public property to a third party even though public property is not transferable in this way.. What is the difference between him who writes to the Patriarch and him who writes to a private person? The one who writes to the Patriarch does not have to perform an act of delivery73In talmudic legal theory, a transfer of property is only valid if the point in time of the transfer of property rights or of claims to property is well defined. This usually is done by the buyer (or recipient) or his representative giving to the seller (or donor) or his representative a vessel (or edge of garment) to hold temporarily. In talmudic theory, Boaz took off his shoe to acquire the right to buy back Elimelekh’s property and with it Ruth (by preliminary marriage) from Tob (Ruth 4:8). Following the terminology of the Book of Ruth, in Babylonian/rabbinic terminology this act is called קִנְיָן “acquisition”., the one who writes to a private person has to perform an act of delivery. But the Sages say, in either case one has to perform an act of delivery. Rebbi Jehudah says, the people of Galilee do not have to write since their forefathers already wrote for them74They never recognized private rights of the citizens to public property. Therefore, the vower and the subject of his vow can use public property without formalities..
