Thanks Gerald. We know she was a Moabite, indicating most likely Semitic heritage. After Elimelek died, Naomi permitted her two sons Mahlon and Kilion to marry local women Ruth & Orpah in Moab, rather than return to Israel and marry Hebrews. But perhaps Moabites commonly inter-married, so who knows.

Though it is true Ruth did live on the plains of Moab , which had been Conquered several
generations earlier at the time of Joshua ,By the Israelites . They had Killed "all" the Moabites
and Ammonites .It became Israelite territory. Ruth was not Racially a Moabite. And Boaz was what ? /What was Naomi ? BTW. do you pay your Models .?
BTW, this "Ruth" model is a Christian Pakistani
