Moabites are a clan of people that lived in the region of Moab (land along eastern shore of the Dead Sea) from the early biblical times that were not recognized as followers of God. They worshiped their own gods.
Ruth (the person who followed Naomi) was a member of the clan before she renounced her faith to follow the one true God.
