One of them was a Moabite, not sure about the others. Moabites were Semitic, & their line is through Terah, father of Abraham.

Of the 12 tribes only one was Jewish - Judah.

Smacking myself on the forehead, DUH! LOL

I'm going great! The chemo wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Course, I'm gonna prolly be mostly brainless again for a few days after tomorrow.... not that most people would notice, cuz I'm pretty good at doing scatterpated on the best of days.

I believe you are thinking of Ruth. Ruth was not a descendant of Moab. She was called a Moabitess [Ruth 1:4] because she lived in Moab. Ruth was an Israelite of either the tribe of Gad, Rueben or Mannessah [Number 32:1] and therefore a suitable ancestor (Israelite) of Our Lord [Deuteronomy 23:3].
