Ruth 1:1 says ' In the days when the judges ruled'. This story takes place between 1220 and 1050 BC. The people of Israel were rebelling in their evil practices and their stubborn ways. Ruth 1:1 says that there was a famine in the land. Israel was being ravaged by a huge famine and the people were starving. Ruth 1:1 says that a man from Bethlehem in Judah together with his wife and two sons.The book does not say who these people are but it was one husband, one wife and two sons. Ruth 1:1 says they went to live for a while in the country of Moab. This family left Bethlehem and traveled to the land of Moab. This area was only twenty five miles across and only up to sixty miles from north to south. Only several  dozen small settlements made up the plains of Moab.
