These nations were subjected for their impiety, wickedness, and enmity to Israel, (Deu 23:4, 5,) to peculiar disgrace; and on this account were not permitted to hold any office among the Israelites. This did not, however, disqualify them from becoming proselytes; for Ruth, who was a Moabitess, was married to Boaz, and became one of the progenitors of our LORD. Rth 4:6,10-22; Neh 4:3,7; Neh 13:1,2,23; Isa 56:3 |
