Kingdom of Moab
Moab was founded by a branch of the Israelite tribes
in the territory between the River Arnon and the
Brook of Zered on the coast of the Dead Sea.
It seems that they and their Edomite neighbours
remained in Canaan while the Israelites emigrated to
Egypt in circa 1650 BC, and both kingdoms fought against
the return of the Israelites four hundred years later. |
