God's Law to the nation of Israel included this command concerning the people of the nations around them: "You must form no marriage alliance with them. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son." (Deuteronomy 7:3, 4)

The Moabites were an ancient Semitic people who inhabited the region of Moab, located east of the Dead Sea in present-day Jordan. According to biblical tradition, they were descended from Moab, the son of Lot and his elder daughter, thus making them related to the Israelites. Historically, the Moabites were known for their conflicts and interactions with the Israelites, as described in various biblical texts. They developed their own culture and language, which were influenced by their geographic and political context.

Other neighboring groups, such as the Amalekites and Canaanites, posed more direct threats to the Israelites during their journey.

Moab, Israel and Judah were three of the small independent West Semitic states to arise around the same time, following the decline of the Canaanite city-states.

The Bible talks of a common bond between the people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, but this bond is not evident with the Moabites.
