Thus may HASHEM do to me, and so may He do more, if anything but death separates from me from you." However, there is no literal Orthodox conversion, but I doubt Boaz would have married a Moabite non-Jewish woman.

Is Judaism a closed religion?
Judaism has always accepted converts. Moses's wife was the daughter of a Midianite priest. Ruth, the ancestor of King David was a Moabite convert.

However, Judaism is not a missionary religion because it does not hold that it is the only path to righteousness, and because for much of the past 2000 years, converts to Judaism and sometimes those who oversee their conversion have been subject to serious consequences, including at many times the death penalty.
