Commentary on Numbers 22:3
Moab's fear—'Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many'—reveals how God's blessing on Israel terrified surrounding nations. The Hebrew gur (dread/afraid) indicates existential terror. Moab saw Israel's numbers and concluded they faced unstoppable force. This fulfills God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would be numerous (Genesis 15:5) and that nations would fear them (Exodus 23:27). When God blesses His people, even their enemies recognize His hand, pointing to the day when every knee will bow to Christ (Philippians 2:10).
