The answer is: As a virtuous woman

Ruth 3:11

In the story of Ruth, the townspeople clearly view her as a virtuous woman, which is remarkable given her background as a Moabite. In their culture, being virtuous didn’t just mean being virtuous in character; it also encompassed qualities like loyalty, perseverance, and dedication—attributes Ruth embodied magnificently.

You might find it interesting that the Book of Ruth is only four chapters long yet is rich with social commentary. Ruth's journey from Moabite exile to heroine of Israel showcases a profound theme: kinship and loyalty transcend societal divisions. The townspeople's positive regard is a reflection of her commitment not just to her late husband's family but also to the divine; when she famously pledges, "Your people will be my people, and your God my God" (Ruth 1:16), she is essentially redefining what it means to belong.

Trivia anyone? Ruth is one of only two women whose names are on the genealogy table leading to King David—hardly a minor position considering his paramount role in Jewish history! Moreover, in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus, Ruth's inclusion signals an inclusiveness that defies norms of purity and lineage of the time. In this narrative, we see how true character surpasses cultural loyalty; notably, Ruth becomes a beacon of faith and virtue, setting a standard for generations to follow. Her story reminds us that kindness and courage can shine brightly, regardless of our origins.
