Chapter 16: Advice to Moav to ask the Jewish people for help

  • The prophet gives the following advice to Moav:
  • Sending gifts in seek of refuge: Send gifts of lambs to Israel in order to appease them and have them agree to house the refugees of Moav, as the inhabitants of Moav will be like a wandering bird who does not have refuge.
  • The monarchy of David is built on compassion and kindness and justice and therefore will be open to accept this request
  • The Jewish people will respond with lamenting the destruction and devastation of the country of Moav.
  • While originally the prophecy was given a long time ago, God now told the prophet that this prophecy will occur in three years’ time.
  • The honor of Moav will be crushed and very few people will remain.
