Bible Question: What is the purpose/meaning of this ritual. |
Bible Answer: Hi Bunny, John Wesley's notes explain it like this... "Loose his shoe - As a sign of his resignation of all his right to the woman, and to her husband's inheritance: for as the shoe was a sign of one's power and right, Psalm 60:8 Psalm 108:9 so the parting with the shoe was a token of the alienation of such right; and as a note of infamy, to signify that by this disingenuous action he was unworthy to be amongst free-men, and fit to be reduced to the condition of the meanest servants, who used to go barefoot, Isaiah 20:2, 4." I hope that helps. John |
