![]() Fritz Hommel regards Moab as an abbreviation of Immo-ab = "his mother is his father". He writes that as a result of the immodesty of Moab's name, God did not command the Israelites to refrain from inflicting pain upon the Moabites in the manner in which he did with regard to the Ammonites. Rashi explains the word Mo'ab to mean "from the father", since ab in Hebrew and Arabic and the rest of the Semitic languages means "father". Other etymologies which have been proposed regard it as a corruption of "seed of a father", or as a participial form from "to desire", thus connoting "the desirable (land)". The earliest gloss is found in the Koine Greek Septuagint ( Genesis 19:37) which explains the name, in obvious allusion to the account of Moab's parentage, as ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου ("from my father"). The etymology of the word Moab is uncertain. According to the Hebrew Bible, Moab was often in conflict with its Israelite neighbours to the west. The existence of the Kingdom of Moab is attested to by numerous archaeological findings, most notably the Mesha Stele, which describes the Moabite victory over an unnamed son of King Omri of Israel, an episode also noted in 2 Kings 3. The land is mountainous and lies alongside much of the eastern shore of the Dead Sea.
