Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible Poole's Annotations
- Ruth
by Matthew Poole
RUTH
THE ARGUMENT
THIS little Book, by whomsoever written, which is not material to know, is annexed to the Book of Judges, and by some of the Hebrew doctors made a part of it. It is useful, as for many other points, so especially to show the genealogy of David, and consequently of Christ; and the rise of Christ from a Moabitish woman; which was a useful document, and a great encouragement to the Gentiles to believe in Christ.
