Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:9
God's command regarding Moab—'Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle'—extends the same respect given to Edom. Though Moab descended from Lot's incestuous relationship with his daughter (Genesis 19:37), God still recognized their territorial rights. The reason 'I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession' shows God's grace extends beyond perfect origins. God's sovereignty and mercy transcend human failure.
