| In the Greek and later translations, the Book of Ruth follows that of Judges, since it was in their time that the history related in this book took place. In the Hebrew Bible, it formal a part of the Holy writings (Hagiographa). A subdivision of the five scrolls read in public on the great fest days of Israel.
