Document Summary
Tobit themes: tobiad family are pure and righteous jews, not all non-judean worshippers of yhwh are unrighteous half-breeds, almost anti-segregation: however, it does support notion of being of pure-seed. A man from bethlehem moves to moab due to famine: he stays there and his sons marry moabite women, the man and the sons die. His wife, naomi, and the two moabite daughter-in-laws, ruth and orpah return: ruth then works hard and is faithful to the god of her husband, ruth goes and gleans in field of boaz a relative of her father-in-law. One things leads to another and ruth and boaz marry: boaz and ruth are the great-grandparents of king david. Anti-segregation: not all foreign women are evil. Some foreign women are faithful to yhwh: even moabites, one was an ancestor of king david, story ends with a genealogy from perez (son of judah) to david, boaz is number 7, david is number 10.
