| | Moab |
| | The religion of the Moabites belonged to the Canaanite group of religions. | | | For the Hebrews and the early theologians of Judaism, the relationship with Moab was important in the sense that there was a kinship, but still Moab kept their polytheistic religion. | | | Other neighbours of Moab were Ammon to the north and Edom to the south, with whom we believe that Moab also was closely related to. |

| | Moab, Moabites - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia |
| | But he was not the only god of Moab, as is clear from the account in Numbers 25, where it is also clear that their idolatrous worship was corrupt. | | | He was the national god of Moab, as Molech was of Ammon, and it is pretty certain that he was propitiated by human sacrifices (2 Kings 3:27). | | | But when Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, saw what a powerful people was settling on his border, he made alliance with the Midianites against them and called in the aid of Balaam, but as he could not induce the latter to curse them he refrained from attacking the Israelites (Numbers 22; 24). |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Moab, Moabites |
| | Moab's subsequent relations with the Hebrew tribes (Ruben, Gad) who had settled in its ancient territory north of the Arnon, were probably those of a hostile neighbour anxious to recover his lost territory. | | | Moab's king at the time was Balaac who, in his unfriendlness towards the Hebrew tribes, hired Balaam to curse them, but who failed in this attempt, the expected curses being divinely changed into blessings (see BALAAM). | | | And although their religion is not fully known, it is certain that human sacrifices and also impure rites formed a part of their worship (2 Kings 3:27; Numbers 25; Hosea 9:10). |
