Mark 6:11 has Jesus tell his disciples, "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet . . ." This seems intended as a sign of disrespect for those who would not help the disciples.
The same terminology is used in Luke 9:5, but in such a way as to avoid causing offence ("when you go out of the city"). The term is also used in Acts 13:51.
Yes, shaking the dust off one's feet is a symbolic gesture mentioned in the Bible, where it signifies leaving behind a place or person that does not welcome or accept the message of God.

It is important to dust your feet off before entering a clean room to prevent bringing in dirt and germs from outside, maintaining the cleanliness of the room.
"Shaking the dust from the feet" is a biblical reference found in the New Testament in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, where Jesus tells his disciples to shake off the dust from their feet if a town refuses to hear their message. This practice likely dates back to the time of Jesus's ministry.
Dust on Mother's Bible was created in 1965-11.
Genesis 3:19 of the bible says that you are dust and to dust you should return.
The word dust appears in 102 verses of the KJV bible.
Here's the verse in context."If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town."It means if the people reject and even persecute you for telling the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, don't beat you head against a wall trying to convince them, they never will be convinced. Move on, and shake the dust of that town off your feet as a warning to them.This directive by Jesus to His disciples is found in all three synoptic gospels:Matthew 10:14, Mark 6:11 and Luke 9:5.
