The restoration of Moab “Moab has been at ease from his youth” The phrase "Moab has been at ease from his youth" suggests a long period of complacency and comfort. The Hebrew word for "at ease" is "sha'an," which implies a sense of security and rest. Historically, Moab, a nation descended from Lot, had experienced relative peace and prosperity, avoiding the turmoil that often afflicted neighboring nations. This ease led to a false sense of security, a spiritual and moral complacency that is often warned against in Scripture. The phrase "from his youth" indicates that this state of ease has been longstanding, suggesting that Moab has not faced significant challenges or upheavals that might have prompted spiritual growth or dependence on God. “settled like wine on its dregs” “He has not been poured from vessel to vessel” “nor has he gone into exile” “So his flavor has remained unchanged, and his aroma is unaltered.” Parallel Commentaries ...
