Description

1. [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.] "Ruth" In a recent article, E. A. Knauf suggested that the name [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.] "Ruth" should be correlated with the root rwt that underlies such words as Moabite ryt "offering," Sabaic rwt/ryt "decision." (1) Knauf also put forward the evidence of a Moabite toponym, Yarut (attested in an 18th Dynasty Egyptian text) as additional support. Thus, according to Knauf, we have triple Moabite evidence: the name of Ruth, the common noun ryt attested in the Mesha Stele line 12, and the toponym Yarut. With this bounty of evidence from a language so little known, Knauf stated that there is no need to look to Hebrew for an explanation of the heroine's name.
