The Book of Ruth (Hebrew רות; Greek Ῥουθ; Latin Rut) is a text contained in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and Christian.

It is written in Hebrew and its writing, by unknown authors, is placed by various scholars between the fifth and second century BC, probably in Judea.

The book of Ruth describes the story, set in the Judea of the time of the Judges (XI century B.C.), of the gentile (i.e. not Jewish, as Moabite) Ruth, model of piety and great-grandmother of the future king David. Rut married a Jew who had immigrated to his country and was left a widow. In turn, she immigrates to the land of Israel, where she meets a relative of her husband, Booz, who is unexpectedly willing to marry her to redeem her from despair. The common thread of these events is the very strong bond that exists between the young widow and her mother-in-law Noemi (name also transcribed as Naomi), herself a widow, a bond that will ensure that the two women will not separate even in the most desperate moment, and that the young woman will sacrifice her last chance to rebuild her life in her country of origin in order to stay with the old woman.
