V.1-3 Next comes Moab. You remember its beginning (Gen. 19:30-37³⁰And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. ³¹And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: ³²Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. ³³And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. ³⁴And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. ³⁵And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. ³⁶Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. ³⁷And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. (Genesis 19:30‑37)). Today’s verses tell Moab’s end.

V.4-5 Here is a surprise. Even Judah does not escape. Judah was a part of Israel. Notice what these people were guilty of. They paid no attention to God’s Word! Are we careful about it? Do we read it every day? Do we obey it?

V.6-8 Lastly, the whole of Israel. They had no use for those who followed the Lord! What a terrible thing to be guilty of. God does not forget.

V.9-10 God reminds them of what He had graciously done for them. He tells them this to shame them!

V.11-12 Nazarites were any who devoted themselves completely to the Lord. Israelites enticed them to give up.

V.13-16 God’s patience will come to an end concerning these eight different groups.
