1 | Social status of one wearing sandels, OT | Ruth 4:7 | jirehway | 136124 | ||
I understand that the Jewish custom provides that one who wore sandels or shoes was a person of standing in the social status. That servants and slaves did not have sandels. Is this correct and how does this apply to Ruth 4? | ||||||
2 | Social status of one wearing sandels, OT | Ruth 4:7 | Morant61 | 136125 | ||
Greetings Jirehway! I'm not sure if there was a hard and fast division between those who had shoes and those who didn't (master or slave). However, there certainly was a custom in the OT that transactions were completed by removing one's shoe in the presence of the town elders. Ruth 4:7 refers to this custom as does Deut. 25:7-10. It seems to have been an action similar to our shaking hands or raising our hand in a oath. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
