The book is concurrent with the book of Judges. To understand the historical context of the book, the translator may wish to review the book of Judges. - -### Special concepts in this chapter - -#### Women without a husband or children -In the ancient Near East, if a woman lacked a husband or sons, she was considered to be in a dire circumstance. She would not have been able to provide for herself. This is why Naomi told her daughters to remarry. - -### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter - -#### Contrast -The actions of Ruth the Moabite are intended to contrast with the actions of Naomi the Jew.
