Ῥoύθ G4503
Ruth, a Moabite woman in Jesus' ancestry
Ruth appears in Matthew 1:5 as one of the four women named in Jesus' genealogy. A Moabite widow who became the great-grandmother of King David, her inclusion is remarkable—she represents the outsiders and Gentiles welcomed into the Messianic line. Her story of loyalty and redemption makes her presence in the genealogy a testimony to God's grace across ethnic boundaries.
