Strong's Lexicon Moab: Moab Original Word: מוֹאָב Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root, possibly meaning "from father" (מֵאָב), indicating the ancestral relationship described in Genesis. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3473 Μωάβ (Moab) - G3474 Μωαβίτης (Moabite) Usage: Moab refers to both a person and a nation in the Bible. Moab was the son of Lot, born from an incestuous relationship with his eldest daughter (Genesis 19:37). The descendants of Moab became the Moabites, a people often in conflict with Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: The Moabites settled east of the Dead Sea, in a region known for its fertile land. They were closely related to the Israelites, being descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew. Despite this kinship, the Moabites frequently opposed Israel, both politically and religiously. The Moabites worshiped Chemosh, a god to whom they sometimes offered human sacrifices. The relationship between Israel and Moab was complex, involving periods of both conflict and cooperation.
