EN
In the genealogy of Jesus at the beginning of the Gospel according to St. Matthew four women are listed. Two of them - Rahab and Ruth - connect the public profession of faith in God YHWH and the corresponding conduct. This article approaches the story of these women described in the Bible and against that background shows the value of that confession of faith, together with its importance and consequences for the future life of both heroins. Rahab and Ruth - two non-Israelites who profess faith in YHWH, and take action dictated by this faith became collaborators with God in the execution of His program of blessing of the peoples of the Earth. They were also accepted into the religious and national community of Israel. For the first recipients of the written story of the two women, that is for the members of the postexilic community of the province of Yehud, the story of Rehab and Ruth could provide a valuable lesson on the collective identity of the people of YHWH.
