br. Due donne di altri popoli entrano nella sacra discendenza biblica e hanno il privilegio di essere i primi nomi femminili del Nuovo Testamento. Tamar è cananea, Rut è moabita. In apertura del libro di Rut si legge che la famiglia ebrea di Elimèlec, con moglie e due figli, in fuga dalla carestia di Giudea, viene accolta dalla gente di Moàb che li ospita e offre due donne in spose ai due figli. Ma la famiglia di Elimèlec deve scontare la colpa di aver lasciato per prima la terra promessa dopo la sua conquista. I maschi della famiglia devono morire e, solo dopo, la vedova di Elimèlec decide di tornare. Con lei va una delle due nuore moabite, Rut e, dal suo accanimento di maternità verrà la sua storia di madre israelita, da cui scaturirà la stirpe del Messia.

In 8, pp. 20 + (2b). Dedica al p. ant. Br. muta coeva. Traduzione della novella biblica che ha come protagonista Ruth.

br. Straniera, vedova e senza figli, la biblica Rut diventa progenitrice di Davide e antenata del Messia. Qual è la forza che la fa emergere dall'anonimato della sventura alla gloria della discendenza regale? Come è accaduto che da una situazione sfavorevole sia riuscita a conquistarsi un ruolo importante? Sono le domande che guidano la prima parte di questo commento, attento a fare emergere dall'analisi letteraria i temi teologici. Alle riletture del Targum e del Midrash è invece dedicata la seconda parte del volume, che risulta dunque un dittico incentrato sul tema della forza delle donne e sulla capacità dei loro sentimenti di muovere la storia.
