the Moabite woman
| Root | מואב (m-w-ʾ-b) |
| Core Meanings | Moab, descendant of Moab, inhabitant of Moab |
| Semantic Range | a woman from Moab; a female descendant of Moab; a Moabite by ethnicity or nationality |
| Conceptual Significance | Identifies a woman as belonging to the people of Moab, historically related to but often in tension with Israel. Notably used of Ruth, highlighting themes of foreignness, covenant inclusion, and YHWH’s redemptive work through a Moabite woman. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) prefixed to a gentilic noun, feminine singular absolute (Ngfsa). Derived from the proper noun מוֹאָב (Moab) with feminine ending ־ִיָּה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a definite article (הַ) + feminine singular gentilic noun, meaning a female descendant or inhabitant of Moab. "The Moabite woman" preserves both the definiteness and the explicitly feminine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
