# Moab, Moabite

## Facts:

The term “Moab” refers to a people group that lived to the east of the Salt Sea. The book of Genesis describes this people group as the descendents of a man named “Moab,” who was the son of Lot’s elder daughter.

* In the book of Ruth, Elimelek and his family went to live in Moab because of the famine around Bethlehem.
* Ruth is called a “Moabite woman” because she was born in the country of Moab and was from that people group.
