- Dixitque Dominus ad me : Non pugnes contra Moabitas, nec ineas adversus eos prælium : non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem.

- Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Μὴ ἐχθραίνετε τοῖς Μωαβείταις, καὶ μὴ συνάψητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον· οὐ γὰρ δῶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ὑμῖν ἐν κλήρῳ, τοῖς γὰρ υἱοῖς Λὼτ δέδωκα τὴν Σηεὶρ κληρονομεῖν.

Haydock's commentary
Moabites. They allowed the Hebrews to pass, as the Idumeans had done; (ver. 29,) but they treated them with no particular marks of affection, (chap. xxiii. 3,) nor would they suffer them to go across their country, Judges xi. 17.
Ar, is sometimes called Rabbah Moab, "the great city of the Moabites," (Josue xiii. 25,) and Areopolis. (Eusebius)
