Commentary on Numbers 22:3

Theological / Devotional

Moab was sore afraid. They were not aware of God’s command to Israel not to disturb them, and were therefore in dread of being dispossessed of their territory (cf. the attitude of the Egyptians in Ex. 1:12). The fear the Moabites now felt had been foretold (Ex. 15:15).
