1. The CEREMONY of the SHOE: A Ritual of GODS ANCIENT COVENANT PEOPLE

   By Alonzo L. Gaskill

   It appears from a number of sources, scriptural and otherwise, that the TRANSFER of PROPERTY in ANCIENT TIMES was accompanied by a
   RITE or ritual CONSISTING primarily OF the REMOVAL of SHOES.

   The Hebrews referred to this ritual by the name of halitzah
   (“TO DRAW OFF”). [25] One text notes, “When someone SELLS his
   PROPERTY. . . he LOSES permanently or temporarily HIS legal RIGHT
   TO IT…… . . and he ‘LIFTS UP HIS hand or FOOT FROM IT and PLACES
   THAT of the NEW OWNER IT IT.’
   (beLIEve comment……..the “israe-LIES” have “removed” the SHOES of the
   PALESTINIANS in the lands of Palestine and, will REPLACE them with the $HOES of the COUNTERFEIT “jews”……in “jeWI$H” continued
   OCCUPATION of Palestine LANDS ??? )

   Thus it is logical to conclude that this EXPRESSION which had at first
   only a LEGAL MEANING developed into a SYMBOLIC MEANING.
   Then the biblical tradition took a further step. The ‘LIFTING UP of
   the FOOT’ became more CONCRETE and real WITH the ‘PULLING
   OFF of the SHOE.”‘ [26] This act BEFORE WITNESSES was A LEGAL
   ATTESTATION [27] that the PARTY DIVESTING ITSELF of a particular
   piece of PROPERTY was doing so willingly—and HAD formally and
   OFFICIALLY RELINQUISHED ALL FUTURE CLAIMS to that particular
   piece of property. [28] The REMOVAL OF the sandal, slipper, or
   SHOE AT the END OF the RITE…SIGNIFIED that the transaction
   was completed and that the RITUAL WAS LEGALLY BINDING.

   [29] One commentary described the MEANING OF THE RITE
   as follows: “A person’s garments are, so to speak, part of himself, and . . .
   IF……..a PERSON REMOVES his GARMENTS in order TO SHOW HIS
   WILLINGESS TO DEPRIVE HIMSELF of EVERYTHING IN LIFE,
   HE OUGHT also TO REMOVE HIS SHOES.”
   (beLIEve comment…….Does “disrobing” at NIGHT indicate to “jew”/
   Anunnaki that “one” is WILLING to deprive oneself of EVERYTHING ????
   WE had better all “SLEEP” with our BOOT$ ON ?)

   [30] This same author continues:
   Amongst the HEBREWS buSINess TRANSACTIONS took place
   publically IN the market-place so that the PRESENCE of the WHOLE COMMUNITY, or at least ten of the elders, served to confirm them. (Gen. xxiii.) . . . As an aid to the memory, therefore, there arose the custom of DRAWING OFF the SHOES in TRANSFERRING a possession or DOMAIN. (Ruth iv, 7.) The idea was that the person who gave up a possession should show by removing his shoe that he was thus DIVESTING himself
   of something BEFORE the WITNESSES. This could then be regarded as a PUBLIC DECLARATION that he was withdrawing from the PROPERTY and HANDING IT OVER to another person.

   [31] Because the SHOE was a NATURAL SYMBOL of POSSESSION, the removal of the same implied DIVESTMENT. [32] As noted, this ACT
   (although symbolic) had BINDING, LEGAL IMPLICATIONS clearly understood by all who were called upon to witness the RITE, [33] and in a time when the ability to write was greatly limited, it ALLOWED even the ILLITERATE to PARTICIPATE IN legal TRANSACTIONS.
   Because of BIBLICAL EVIDENCE and extracanonical support, scholars
   believe that this RITE WAS at one time very WIDESPREAD in the
   ancient Near East. [34]

   Although the common assumption that the RITE depicted in Ruth 4 is traditionally seen as an example of levirate marriage, it appears likely
   that it is instead a prime example of the CEREMONY OF the SHOE.
   The salient portion of Ruth reads: “(Now IN EARLIER TIMES in ISRAEL,
   FOR the redemption and TRANSFER of PROPERTY to BECOME FINAL,
   one PARTY TOOK OFF HIS SANDAL and GAVE IT TO the OTHER !!!
