3<\/strong>. The two halves of the verse appear to be doublets, from E and J respectively.<\/p>\n As it was foretold both in general of all nations, Deu 2:25<\/span>, and particularly concerning Moab, Exo 15:15<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Moab was sore afraid of the people<\/strong>,…. Lest they should enter into their country and do to them as they had done to Sihon and Og, and their countries; on this account the king of Moab, his nobles, and the people of the land, were in an exceeding great panic, which was a fulfilling of the prophecy of Moses in Ex 15:15<\/span>:<\/p>\n because they were many<\/strong> the number of them taken a little after in this place, where they now were, in the plains of Moab, even after 24,000 had died of the plague, was 601,730, Nu 25:9<\/span>:<\/p>\n and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel<\/strong>; though they had no reason for it, had they considered their relation to them, being the descendants of Abraham, the uncle of Lot, whose posterity they were; and that the Israelites had done them service in delivering them from such bad neighbours, who had taken much of their country from them, and were doubtless making continual encroachments on them; and especially had they known the orders the Israelites had from the Lord not to distress them, nor contend with them in battle, De 2:9<\/span>, but this they were ignorant of, and being of a different religion from the Israelites, had them in abhorrence, or loathed them, as the word signifies; though the meaning rather seems to be, that they had a nausea, a loathing in their stomachs, and could not eat their food, because of the dread of the Israelites that was upon them; or they were weary of their lives, as Jarchi interprets it, and as the word is used,<\/p>\n Ge 27:46<\/span>.<\/p>\n (3) And Moab was sore afraid of the people.<\/strong>There was no ground for this apprehension, inasmuch as the Divine command given to Moses was Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle (Deu. 2:9<\/span>). It does not appear, however, that Balak was aware of the prohibition; and the recent conquests of the Israelites naturally filled the Moabites with alarm, especially inasmuch as when the Israelites sent to the King of Moab to ask permission to pass through his land he did not consent (Jdg. 11:17<\/span>).<\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. <\/strong> Moab was sore afraid <\/strong> This fear was groundless, since Israel had circuitously passed by the Moabites and had now left them in the rear. They had broken the power of their foes, the Amorites, and had scrupulously obeyed the command, “Distress not the Moabites.” Deu 2:9<\/span>. <\/p>\n Was distressed <\/strong> Hebrew, loathed <\/em> and felt disgust <\/em> and abhorrence. <\/em> See Num 21:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n Num 22:3<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And Moab was sore afraid<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> i.e. Balak the king, and the people of Moab; for they were ignorant of God’s commands, prohibiting the Israelites to disturb the Moabites in their possessions. Thus was fulfilled what Moses foretold, Exo 15:15<\/span>. <\/p>\n Num 22:3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.<\/p>\n Ver. 3. And Moab was distressed.<\/strong> ] Or, Was irked, fretted, vexed. And yet Moab was allied to Israel, eased by them of a troublesome encroaching neighbour Sihon, and assured by them, that they would not meddle or molest them. But being of a different religion, they were carried with satanical malice against God’s people, and sought their ruin. This is the guise of graceless and absurd men, acted and agitated by the devil.<\/p>\n Exo 15:15, Deu 2:25, Jos 2:10, Jos 2:11, Jos 2:24, Jos 9:24, Psa 53:5, Isa 23:5 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 2:4 – they shall Neh 2:10 – it grieved Neh 13:2 – hired Balaam Hab 3:7 – saw the<\/p>\n Num 22:3. Moab was sore afraid As Moses had foretold of Moab in particular, (Exo 15:15,) and as the Lord himself had promised concerning all nations in general, Deu 2:25. The Moabites were afraid lest the Israelites should destroy or expel them out of their country, as they had done the Amorites; for they knew nothing of Gods command, prohibiting them from disturbing the Moabites in their possessions.<\/p>\n And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 3.
