The saying stands in the book of Ruth, a beautiful and wonderfully interesting story in four brief chapters, a little pastoral tale from the time of the judges. That book was probably written by Samuel, or in the early days of David, perhaps by Nathan the prophet. It closes by bringing out the ancestry of the Lord Jesus, into which a Moabite woman is brought.
