Deuteronomy 2:11 וְהַמֹּ֣אָבִ֔ים and the Moabites

Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

Deuteronomy 2:29 וְהַמּ֣וֹאָבִ֔ים and the Moabites

just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”

Deuteronomy 23:3 וּמוֹאָבִ֖י and a Moabite

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.

Here: 'And a Moabite,' from the kingdom on the plateau east of the Dead Sea. The Hebrew 'and' joins the two peoples as one case, so English 'or' gives the right sense. Genesis 19:30-38 presents them as brother nations.

Ruth 1:4 מֹֽאֲבִיּ֔וֹת Moabite

who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,

The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.

Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”

Ruth 4:5 הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֤ה the Moabite [woman]

Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi and also from Ruth the Moabitess, you must also acquire the widow of the deceased in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.”

Ruth 4:10 הַמֹּאֲבִיָּה֩ the Moabite [woman]

Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to raise up the name of the deceased through his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his brothers or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”

1 Kings 11:1 מוֹאֲבִיּ֤וֹת Moabite [women]

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.

Here: Women from Moab, east of the Dead Sea. Deuteronomy 23:3 barred Moabites from 'the assembly of the LORD.' Their god Chemosh gets a shrine in 11:7.

1 Chronicles 11:46 הַמּוֹאָבִֽי׃ the Moabite

Eliel the Mahavite, Jeribai and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, Ithmah the Moabite,

Here: Another living neighbour, paired with Ammon in the exclusion law of Deuteronomy 23:3. Solomon's Moabite and Ammonite wives (1 Kings 11:1–2) are the cautionary example Nehemiah 13:26 later cites.

Nehemiah 13:1 וּמֹאָבִ֛י and a Moabite

At that time the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people, and in it they found the passage stating that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,

Here: A member of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. In Genesis 19 Ammon and Moab are both descended from Lot, so they are Israel's relatives. That is part of why the grievance in v. 2 stung.

Nehemiah 13:23 מוֹאֲבִיּֽוֹת׃ Moabite

In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

Here: Women from Moab, the second people named in Deut 23:3. Together with 'Ammonite' it echoes the exact law read at the start of the chapter, so the hearer is meant to recognise a broken commandment.
