Ruth, a Moabite woman who was married to an Israelite, became a widow and was faced with a choice: stay in her own country or return with her mother - in - law to Israel.
Rute bija moābiete, kas bija apprecējusies ar izraēlieti. Kad viņas vīrs nomira, Rutei bija jāpieņem lēmums: palikt savā tēvu zemē vai doties līdzi vīramātei, kas grasījās atgriezties Izraēlā.
