Números 21:29 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:29

Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone
The whole country ruined, or likely to be so:

O people of Chemosh;
which was the name of their idol, who is called the abomination of the Moabites, ( 1 Kings 11:7 ) (See Gill on Jeremiah 48:7):

he hath given his sons that escaped;
that is, the idol Chemosh had given his sons, the men of the country that worshipped him, who escaped the sword of the Amorites, these,

and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites;
who took captive what he slew not, or would do so, Chemosh their god not being able to preserve them, but obliged to deliver them up: thus the composers of this song insult the god of the Moabites, as it was usual for conquerors so to do; see ( Isaiah 10:10 Isaiah 10:11 ) ( 36:18-20 ) , though some think these are the words of the Israelites, making their observations upon the above song, which ends at verse twenty eight, and scoffing at the idol of the Moabites.

Números 21:29 In-Context

27 Por eso dicen los que usan proverbios: Venid a Hesb贸n. Sea edificada. Sea establecida la ciudad de Seh贸n.
28 Porque fuego sali贸 de Hesb贸n, una llama del pueblo de Seh贸n; devor贸 a Ar de Moab, a los se帽ores de las alturas del Arn贸n.
29 隆Ay de ti, Moab! 隆Destruido eres, oh pueblo de Quemos! Ha dado a sus hijos como fugitivos y a sus hijas a la cautividad, a un rey amorreo, Seh贸n.
30 Mas nosotros los hemos arrojado; Hesb贸n est谩 destruido hasta Dib贸n; despu茅s tambi茅n asolamos hasta Nofa, la que llega hasta Medeba.
31 As铆 habit贸 Israel en la tierra de los amorreos.
