4:8So the guardian said to Boaz, “You may acquire it,” and he removed his sandal.28

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 28 The adds “and gave it to him” (cf. , ), which presupposes the reading ויתן לו. This seems to be a clarifying addition (see v. 7), but it is possible the scribe’s eye jumped from the final vav (ו) on נַעֲלוֹ (na’alo, “his sandal”) to the final vav (ו) on לוֹ (lo, “to him”), accidentally omitting the intervening letters.
