Noong mga araw na ang mga hukom ang namamahala, nagkaroon ng taggutom sa lupain. At isang lalaki mula sa Bethlehem ng Juda ang umalis upang pansamantalang manirahan sa parang ng Moab, siya, ang kanyang asawa at ang kanyang dalawang anak na lalaki.
Kitzur Ba'al HaTurim
A man went. This appears twice in Scripture, here, and the second time (Ruth 1:1): “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land, and a man went from Bethlehem of Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moav.” As a result of “a man went,” the first redeemer (Moshe) was born, and by means of the latter “a man went,” the last redeemer, who is the Mashiach, the son of David, will come.
Radak
שדה אדום, a synonym for “the land of Edom.” We have the same synonym also being used for the land of Moav in Ruth 1,1 when Elimelech left the land of Israel to settle in שדה מואב, meaning in ארץ מואב.
Rashi
Ruth, Psalms, Job etc – Ruth was first, in the "days the judges judged" (Ruth 1:1). Psalms David said, and he was before Job according to the one who says it was in the days of the Queen of Sheba, and that was after the three books of Shlomo.
