Num 22:2-4 | MHM | STEP | v. 2-4 : The Moabites are terrified when they see how many Israelites there are and hear what they did to the Amorites. Even though God told Israel not to harm Moab (Deuteronomy 2:9 ), the Moabites do not trust this. They worry for their safety and join with their neighbors, the Midianites, to find a solution. Instead of being thankful that Israel defeated their enemy, Sihon, they become jealous and hostile (Numbers 22:2-4; Psalm 53:5 ).
