Also known as Moabite
Moab () was an ancient Levantine kingdom whose territory is today located in southern Jordan. The land is mountainous and lies alongside much of the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The existence of the Kingdom of Moab is attested to by numerous archaeological findings, most notably the Mesha Stele, which describes the Moabite victory over an unnamed son of King Omri of Israel, an episode also noted in 2 Kings 3. The Moabite capital was Dibon. According to the Hebrew Bible, Moab was often in conflict with its Israelite neighbours to the west.
Moab was an ancient kingdom located in what is now southern Jordan, east of the Dead Sea, whose existence is confirmed by archaeological evidence including the famous Mesha Stele. It matters historically because it provides insight into the ancient Levantine world and its interactions with neighboring kingdoms like Israel, as documented in both archaeological records and biblical texts.

摩押 （Moab；מוֹאָב "Seed of father/leader", Standard Hebrew Moʾav, Tiberian Hebrew Môʾāḇ），是中東一個古老民族的名稱。他們本來居住在今日約旦的死海東岸的山區。根據中東的傳統，每一個民族都有一位同名的祖先。而摩押人的祖先摩押，根據《聖經·創世記》所記載，是亚伯拉罕的侄子羅得與兩個女兒在逃離罪惡之城所多瑪之後，與自己的長女所生下的兒子。
