Where Ruth is located in your Bible tells you whether it is translated from Hebrew or Greek.

A tale of a major problem for Na’omi graciously solved by God through Ruth and Boaz

Ruth makes promises committing her social life to the Israelites and her religious faith to God.

Boaz tells his reapers to give Ruth freedom to glean and let her drink from the worker’s water jug.

The theology of Ruth shows that gentiles must join Israel spiritually in order to be redeemed by God.

Na’omi devises a plan for Ruth to put away her widow clothing and propose marriage to Boaz.

Boaz offers the rights of the redeeming kinsman to another but will do it if the other Go’el refuses.

The Messianic line begins with the gentile woman Tamar and takes a drastic turn with the gentile Ruth.
