Yes. In the plan of God, he left because of a famine in Israel. He might have been motivated by fear, but by moving to Moab his two sons married Moabite women. After the sons died, one of the widows, Ruth, married Boaz and became the great-grandmother of King David. This kept the family tree of the Messiah, Jesus, alive.

What else can I help you with?
