In der Zeit, in der die Richter [in Israel] regierten, herrschte einst Hungersnot im Lande. Ein Mann aus Betlehem in Judäa wanderte aus, um im Gefilde Moab zu wohnen, er und seine Frau und seine beiden Söhne.
Tiferet Shlomo
..."It was in the days of the judging of Judges and there was famine in the land": this alludes to the following: the Talmud says that "tzaddikim are rules by their good inclination, the wicked by their evil inclination, and the intermediates by both." It's known that every mitzvah you do creates an angel and that impact of making of an angel is explained in Tehilim. No evil will befall you because G-d will commend his angel to protect you" what this means is that whoever is involved in Torah, the angel that cares of him, will take care of him in the way of Torah. If he's involved in charity, he will be given an angel of charity. This is the meaning of "one mitzvah will lead to another mitzvah"--in Sefer HaMagid, which was taught by an angel, it says that the angels need a parnasa and their parnasa is from the Torah and mitzvot of the Jewish people. That's the meaning of the Talmud--"angels wait to sing the kedusha until human sing it" because their kedusha comes from the Jewish people. This is the meaning of "keser" a crown will be given to by a host of angels with the Jewish people--which means with the kedusha that they get from the Jewish people. According to this, these angels are always waiting for the Jewish people to do Torah and mitzvot and that's why one mitzvah causes another mitzvah. Because the created angel from the first mitzvah needs parnasa becomes to a yotzer tov that assists a person to do another mitzvah. So it's known that the students of the Arizal wrote "do not delay payment" which means that every mitzvah creates a angel so as soon as person makes a neder to give charity, an angel is created and the angel isn't finished until the person fulfills his vow and the angel has a lot of pain--"pay" is related to "complete." This is how to explain the verse "do not allow your mouth to sin with your flesh and don't say in front of the angel that it is an accident"--this refers to the angel created by the words of the neder. That's the meaning of the Talmud that whoever starts a mitzvah and doesn't complete it he buries his wife and his children" because the angel is angry at the person who's not completing. The good angel says that you should have this next Shabbat and wants to have energy next Shabbat and wants benefit for the person because the angel is like a child and wants to respect father. The angel assists you to do mitzvot and advocates for you in heaven. That's the meaning of the verse "Hashem check if an angel is beseeching on behalf of this person" this means that an angel argues for the person to live and do more mitzvot. Just like a child davens for his father that his father should live long. This how I explained another verse "the Jews already have already cried in the streets for their altar" the Temple has called "Ariel" because there was a fire shaped lion that was created from the sacrifices and so these angels have no parnasa and so the angels themselves are crying.
