1And the name of the second was Ruth. Ruth bears the type of the nations: she left her ancestral ways and was joined to Israel's manner of life.

Yet one must ask how Ruth, a Moabitess, entered when the law forbids a Moabite to enter the assembly of God. Inquiring into this, apply the saying: "The law is not laid down for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious."

Greek · §1

In Ruth ΡΟΥΘ. 12.989 Καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Ῥούθ. Ῥοὺθ τύπον φέρει τῶν ἐθνῶν· ἥτις κατέλιπε τὰ πάτρια, καὶ ἡνώθη τῇ Ἰσραηλιτικῇ ἕξει. Ζητητέον δὲ πῶς, τοῦ νόμου ἀπαγορεύοντος μὴ εἰσελθεῖν Μοαβίτην εἰς Ἐκκλησίαν Θεοῦ, ἡ Ῥοὺς Μοαβίτις οὖσα εἰσῆλθε. Καὶ τοῦτο ζητῶν χρῆσαι τῷ· "∆ικαίω δὲ νόμος οὐ κεῖται, ἀλλὰ ἀδίκοις καὶ ἀνυποτάκτοις."
