Hi, Mailech, how have you been?
Wouldn't **** possibly be an idiom for swarthy, because it refers to someone from the land of Cush? |

What about Boaz? King David came through his line by him marring a Gentile (Ruth)...no?
The **** woman was tziporah, and the conversation was about a different topic. **** meaning either swarthy or beautiful.
And Rut converted as she said, "your people are my people, your G-d is my G-d."
Wasn't she a Moabite? I don't think she could legally convert until the tenth generation of something like that. Ruth that is... |

A moabite can never convert. A moabite man that is. No such prohibition applies to the Moabite women.
Ah, and how do I know that it is Moavi v'lo Moavit (man not woman)?
Answer the oral law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Why not the men?
Because when the Jews were in the dessert, the Moabites and Amonites, refused to help out the Jews. This was a sin of the men, the women not being in the public, did not praticipate. |
