This map shows Moab, the territory east of the Dead Sea, bordered by the Arnon River to the north, the Zered Brook to the south, and the rugged Abarim Mountains rising above the eastern side of the Jordan Valley. It highlights important Moabite towns such as Dibon, Medeba, Kir-hareseth, Aroer, Nebo, and Beth-baal-meon, as well as the King’s Highway, a major route running through the region. The map also shows nearby places with biblical significance, including Mount Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death, and the plains near Beth-jeshimoth and Abel-shittim, where Israel camped before entering Canaan. Moab was closely related to Israel through Lot, yet often stood in opposition to God’s people. It was the setting for Balaam’s attempted curse, Israel’s temptation at Peor, and the story of Ruth, the Moabite woman who became part of the line of David and ultimately the Messiah.
