Usage: The Hebrew word "naal" or "naalah" refers to a sandal or shoe, a common piece of footwear in ancient times. It is used in the Bible to denote a physical object worn on the feet, often made of leather or other durable materials. The term can also carry symbolic meanings, such as representing readiness, humility, or the act of taking possession. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sandals were essential for protection against the harsh terrain and climate. They were typically made from leather and fastened with straps. Sandals were not only practical but also held cultural significance. For instance, removing one's sandals was a sign of respect and humility, as seen in the account of Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:5). Additionally, the exchange of sandals was a customary practice in legal transactions, symbolizing the transfer of property or rights (Ruth 4:7).
