It Was Found Written

The Ammonite sin was one that was of heartless omission: they refused to give the Israelites food and water, and the Moabites sin was one of transgression and outrageous commission as they hired Balaam to call down a curse on the Israelites. As we read this Scripture, it invites us to consider the sin of the Ammonites and the Moabites, and we also should consider the determination of the Lord to bless the Israelites and their resolution to be obedient.
