Study

       

17 Ja, de människor som ställa sin färd till Egypten, för att bo där, skola alla dö genom svärd, hunger och pest, och ingen av dem skall slippa undan och kunna rädda sig från den olycka som jag skall låta komma över dem.

Commentary

 

Moab

  

In Numbers 22:4, 7 and Jeremiah 48:38, Moab signifies people in natural good who easily permit themselves to be led astray. (Arcana Coelestia 3242[3], 10184[2]) In an opposite sense, it signifies people who adulterate what is good. 'Moab and Ammon' signify people with whom good is adulterated and truth falsified.
