In the days when the judges ruled, at a time when there was famine in the land
A certain man from Bethlehem went to live in the territory of Moab – he, his wife and

Then Majlon and Kilyon died,[ 3] the two of them, and the woman was left without her two children and without

So she prepared to return with her daughters-in-law from the plains of Moab; because

children in my womb who could be their husbands?[512Go back, my daughters; go your way,
because I am too old to have a husband. Even if I were to say: 'I still have hope';

15She said: "Look, your sister-in-law has returned to her village and to her god, go back after your sister-in-law." [ 6] " 16

But Ruth said:

Don't pressure me to let you go.

Yahshúa the Messiah. Many of the Messianic Jewish Congregations that believe in the Talmud would not have accepted Ruth as
Israel, except for the Orthodox Jews, but here we have it clear and simple, she wanted to be Israel by faith and she was.

Naomi had a relative on her husband's side, a prominent and wealthy member of the clan of
Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.[ 11] 2Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, 'Let me go to the
field and rummage through grain ears behind anyone who allows me to.
Come, my daughter.3So she went out, arrived in the field and rummaged behind the reapers.

Meanwhile, Boaz had gone to the gate and sat down there, when the man who
I could redeem, of which Boaz had spoken, passed by, he said to her: 'Come here and sit here so and so';2
He called ten men from the elders of the city, and said to them: 'Sit here'; and they sat down.
They sat 3 down. He said to the relative that he could redeem: "The parcel of land that belonged to our...

16
This custom does not refer to the law about refusing to marry the brother's widow (Deut. 25:9), but it was usual in the
transfer of inheritances; this relative was not a brother, but simply a relative, and the shoe was not removed by Ruth, but
by the same relative. The Targumist translates it instead of the shoe as 'the glove of the right hand,' probably being the
custom, at that time, instead of a shoe.
17
Ruth became an Israelite, but more than that, she was a mother of Yisrael just like Leah and Rachel, this was despite her
Moabite descent. This is how everyone who comes to Yisra'el should be treated; if it is a woman, treat her like Sarah, Rivkah, Leah,
Rajel and Rut; if he is a man, treat him like Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya'akov, and they are gladly accepted, welcomed, not

YAHWEH in Bethlehem, and anyone who comes to Israel and refuses to do so, and continues to treat the Name of YAHWEH as nothing,
changing it to titles, HaShem, G-d, etc., is not Yisra'el, according to His revealed ordinances.
