Bible Question (short): Social status of one wearing sandels, OT |
Question (full): 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? |
