A Santa Ilegalidade de Ruth

This article aims to discuss the interpretative possibilities that the reading of Megillat Ruth can assume as an intrinsic part of the Shavuot festival. Based on an original translation with comments produced by the authors, a literary analysis is proposed that explores the controversial interpretations of the ambiguities of the characters and plots given the dual character of the Shavuot festival: with pre-second temple agricultural relations; and with the relationship to the giving of the Torah post second temple.
