Subject: Which "land of Moab" in Ruth? |
Bible Note: Hi MP, In my answer to your first comments on this tread, I stated the following, “More telling is verse 17, wherein Ruth uses the name LORD, translated Jehovah. Jehovah was the covenant name given to Israel in Exodus 6:3. It is doubtful that the writer of Ruth would have recorded Ruth as using the name Jehovah had she not been an Israelite and had every right to do so.” I see in Joshua 2:9-10 that Rahab, the harlot, also used the name “LORD.” Therefore, my statement was wrong and no such inference can be made.
