Why did God tell the Israelites not to bother the Moabites? Deut 2:9
-
Because they were good people
-
Because they worshiped God
-
Because they were the descendants of Lot
Correct Answer
A. Because they were the descendants of LotExplanation
The correct answer is because they were the descendants of Lot. In Deuteronomy 2:9, God instructs the Israelites not to harass or provoke the Moabites, as they were the descendants of Lot. This shows that God had a specific relationship and covenant with Lot and his descendants, and therefore, the Israelites were to respect and not cause harm to them.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Because God had given that land to Esau to keep as his ownExplanation
In Deuteronomy 2:4-5, God told the Israelites that He would not give them any of the land of the hill country of Sier because He had already given that land to Esau. This implies that the land was reserved for Esau and his descendants, and therefore, it was not intended for the Israelites to possess.Rate this question:
