Watch Jerusalem

They were ancient Israel’s eastern neighbors, dwelling in the plains of Jordan. At times their oppressors, and at other times subservient to the Israelites, these people were connected on a very physical level with the Israelites, sharing a common ancestor—Abraham’s father, Terah. They were the Moabites. On today’s program, Watch Jerusalem archaeology writer Christopher Eames discusses the history of Moabites as well as one of the most important discoveries in Biblical archaeology – the Mesha Stele.
