In Ruth

RUTH. 12.989 And the name of the second was Ruth. Ruth is a type of the Gentiles; who left her ancestral ways, and was united to the Israelite state. But it must be investigated how, with the law forbidding a Moabite to enter the assembly of God, Ruth, being a Moabitess, entered. And in investigating this, use the saying: "But the law is not laid down for the righteous, but for the lawless and disobedient."

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."
