Word Count: Ruth
score:7
Accepted answer
According to Word counts for every book of the Bible, which counted all the words of each book in the original language (and also explains how he got the data), Ruth has 2,039 words in the original language.
That's 19 more than Song of Solomon and also more than Joel, Malachi, Zephaniah, Jonah, Habakkuk, Haggai, Nahum, Obadiah, and Philemon. So no, it is definitely not the shortest book in the Old Testament.
