| | Introduction to the Book of Ruth |
| | That which the book of Ruth relates occurred during the period of the Judges, as part of the events that took place between Joshua's death and the rise of Samuel's influence (probably between 1150 and 1100 BC). | | | This beautiful story had already begun to form part of the oral traditions of the people, and the final geneology would serve the purpose of establishing a link with the patriarchs, giving a satisfactory response to all those Israelites who desired to be sure of the family ascendancy of their king. | | | The genealogy at the end of the book traces the lineage of Boaz from Perez, the son of Judah, down to King David. |

| | It has often been noted that the message of the book is that of anti-nationalism, and that the purpose of the book is to counterweight the strong nationalistic emphasis in Ezra and Nehemiah. | | | It is significant that the book of Ruth begins in 1:1 by declaring that it was "in the days when the judges ruled" that "a man from Bethlehem in Judah" went to live in Moab. | | | Thompson suggests a structure on the basis of the prayers in the book, p207. |

| | Ruth is ultimately rewarded for her great kindness by becoming the progenitor of King David, from whom the Bible states the Messiah will come. | | | Of course, he is referring to life itself, and in his latest book, Meier illuminates that journey by looking at the compelling and sometimes tragic life of the biblical figure of Ruth. | | | As Meier points out, Ruth is not just taking on the form of Naomi’s faith, she is becoming one with it. |

| | In the time of the judges, a famine arose in the land of Israel, in consequence of which Elimelech with Noemi and their two sons emigrated from Bethlehem of Juda to the land of Moab. | | | Again, the mention by St. Matthew of several personages of the episode of Ruth (Booz, Ruth, Obed), among the actual ancestors of Christ (Matthew 1:5), points in the same direction. | | | Several recent scholars have regarded this short book as a kind of protest against Nehemias's and Esdras's efforts to suppress intermarriage with women of foreign birth. |

| | Because the book was set "in the days when the judges judged" (1:1) and provides background to the family of David, the early Greek version placed the book of Ruth between the books of Judges and Samuel, a practice followed by Christian versions of the Old Testament. | | | With these additions the book says that God was at work in the life of Naomi's family to provide for Israel's kingship needs. | | | In this foreign land the two sons, Machlon and Kilion, married Moabite women, Ruth and Orpah. |
