Thrive: Deeper

RUTH! A great overview by The Bible Project https://youtu.be/0h1eoBeR4Jk

The 8th book of the Old Testament, during the time of the Judges. 1300 to 1200 BC Ruth is a "Moabitess" - what does that mean? Moab and Ammon were born to Lot and Lot's elder and younger daughters, respectively, in the aftermath of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Bible refers to both the Moabites and Ammonites as Lot's sons, born of incest with his daughters (Genesis 19:37–38).

Balak & Balaam Numbers 22 - 25

Deuteronomy 23:3 Those Excluded from the Assembly “No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever...

The book of Zephaniah states that Moab would become "a permanent desolation".
