In the Greek New Testament, her name appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, highlighting her significance in the lineage of David and ultimately, the Messiah. Cultural and Historical Background: Ruth was a Moabite woman who married into an Israelite family. After the death of her husband, she chose to stay with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and return with her to Bethlehem. Her account is one of loyalty, faith, and redemption.
