Curses For Lot & His Descendants
1. By Himselfa) Genesis 19:8, Lot offers two of his virgin daughters in exchange for the life of two angels. 2. By God
a) Deuteronomy 23:3, Per Moses, A Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation:
Reason #1: Deuteronomy 23:4, Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; Deuteronomy 2:28-29, states the Moabites sold them meat and water. Earlier it states that the Israelites were told to pay for these things from the children of Esau. Reason #2: Deuteronomy 23:4, Because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
At this point in the story, the Israelites had already passed through the land of the Moabites per Deuteronomy but Numbers 21 and 22 make it seem like they went through the land of the Amorites[ Heshbon] first. b) Deuteronomy 23:6, Per Moses, the Israelites are told in regards to the Moabites, “Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. c) Isaiah 16:14, God says within three years the glory of Moab shall be taken the remnant shall be very small and feeble. d) Amos 2:1 For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;:
2:4 For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof:
2:6 For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; e) Zephaniah 2:9, Moab shall be as Sodom. f) Jeremiah 48 is the curse Moab chapter.. 3. By Israelites

Israelites Receive The Law Of Moses In Moab
After the Israelites killed every Amorite in sight, including all women and children, the Israelites stay in Moab to receive the law of Moses rather than inhabiting the land they just killed everyone in. (Deuteronomy 2:30-34) and (Deuteronomy 29:1).Numbers 21:35 says the Israelites did possess the land of the Amorites after killing them so why go back to Moab to get the covenant?
Moses Dies In Moab And Is Buried There
Why are the bones of the great Israelite in the land of a hated people even to this day in a secret sacred sepulchre if that place is so despised by God? (Deuteronomy 34:5-6)
