4125. Moabi or Moabiyyah
Strong's Lexicon
Moabi or Moabiyyah: Moabite (male or female)

Original Word: מוֹאָבִי / מוֹאָבִיָּה
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Moabi or Moabiyyah
Pronunciation: mo-aw-bee' / mo-aw-bee-yah'
Phonetic Spelling: (mo-aw-bee')
Definition: Moabite (male or female)
Meaning: a Moabite, Moabitess

Word Origin: Derived from מוֹאָב (Moab), which is believed to mean "from the father" or "of his father."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Moabi" or "Moabiyyah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, but the Greek term Μωαβίτης (Moabitēs) is used in the Septuagint and New Testament to refer to Moabites.

Usage: The term "Moabi" or "Moabiyyah" refers to an individual from Moab, a nation located east of the Dead Sea. In the Bible, Moabites are often depicted as relatives of the Israelites, being descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, through his elder daughter (Genesis 19:37). The term is used to describe both male and female members of this ethnic group.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Moabites were a Semitic people closely related to the Israelites. Their territory was located in what is now modern-day Jordan. The relationship between Israel and Moab was complex, involving periods of both conflict and cooperation. The Moabites worshiped the god Chemosh, and their culture was distinct yet similar to that of the Israelites. The Book of Ruth highlights a positive interaction between the two groups, as Ruth, a Moabitess, becomes an ancestor of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ.
