Biblical Significance of Moab
Moab, located east of the Dead Sea, was founded by Lot's son after Sodom's destruction. Though related to Israel, Moab often opposed God's people. Moabite women led Israel into idolatry at Baal-Peor. Yet from this hostile nation came Ruth, whose loyalty to Naomi and faith in Israel's God made her an ancestor of David and Jesus. Moab demonstrates that God's grace extends to all who turn to Him, regardless of their origin.
