Preface
The Book of Ruth provides information about the following:
o Naomi and Ruth
o Boaz the next of kin
o Blessed by the Lord God
o Bethlehem in the land of Judah
o Genealogy of King David and the Christ
This book includes verses translated from the Greek old covenant writing, sometimes referred to as the Septuagint. The Septuagint (also identified as: LXX) is a translation of the old Hebrew texts along with the spoken language; it was made by approximately seventy scholars in Alexandria, Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus from about 285 to 247 B.C. Some comparisons to the traditional Masoretic Hebrew text (after 1 A.D.) are also provided in this book.

Relevant Notes
Unless otherwise stated, all scriptures are quoted from the following:
o The True Bible Study Word Translation (TBS) Ruth chapters 1 – 4 are translated from the Greek old covenant writing (Septuagint) by Maura K. Hill.
The various resources and reference materials are listed at https://www.truebiblestudy.com/bible-materials.
In the TBS Word Translation and Study:
o Words in parentheses and italicized within a scripture verse are words inserted to help our English understanding of those words which are translated from Greek words.
o Additional explanatory insertions within a scripture verse are enclosed in square brackets and italicized.
o Non-English words are printed with English letters.
o I use an initial capital letter for all occurrences of the words Lord
and Master
when referring to either God or the Lord Jesus Christ due to my respect for them, therefore the reader will need to carefully consider the context of each particular usage to understand to whom that usage refers.
o Where the word spirit
refers to God, I use an initial capital or upper-case S
- Spirit. But when the word spirit
refers to the gift of holy spirit, etc, I use a small or lower-case s
- spirit.
o Underlined text is used for the English word but
when translated from the Greek word alla to show that it implies a strong contrast to that-which has just previously been stated, and/or to strengthen a command.
o Underlined text is used for the singular form of the word you
to distinguish it from the plural form of the word you
which is not underlined.
o Underlined text is also used for emphasis.
o In order to communicate the fullness of the emphasis when the Greek definite article is repeated both with the noun and its adjective - for example: I Corinthians 15:4 the Greek is te hemera te trite, which literally means the day the third
- I translate it as "the day, the third (day)."
o Verbs in the imperfect
tense are translated with the words used-to
and then the meaning of the verb.
o For example: used-to teach
indicates that the one teaching spent time teaching, his action of teaching continued during a past time that is now finished for some reason, not that it was a quick one-time occurrence. The one teaching taught others taking time to teach, and he may have repeated his teaching at different times and in different ways. This tense is also used to historically describe past events relating what happened.
o Verbs in the perfect
tense are translated from Greek with a superscript number 2 immediately following the verb - for example: it was written².
o This tense indicates an action done during a past time and which has a present continuing result, meaning it is still the same at the time the verb was spoken/written. Therefore, this example could be translated as: it was written and continues written.
o The noun love¹
or the verb to love¹
comes from the Greek word agape which is God’s kind of love.
When the Biblical writers wrote, there were no punctuation marks, no chapter or verse divisions indicated, etc, as we see them today in many of our English Bible translations and versions. Therefore we must read the whole context of each particular passage of Scripture for thought-content to more clearly understand the truth of what has been written.
Also, the original language was not English, and therefore when I may write that the writer said or wrote such and such, please understand that the writer actually spoke and wrote in the original language the equivalent to that-which I state in the English language to the best of my knowledge.

Introduction to the Book of Ruth
The events recorded in the Book of Ruth occurred during the time of the judges who ruled over the descendants of Israel as their leaders so as to correct their behavior.
Ruth was a Gentile (not of the Judean/Israeli descent but from another ethnic group, her background was a nation other than Israel) and she married a descendant of Israel. She believed God’s Word to/for His people, which included information regarding the Christ who was first promised by God
