I began to look at Jesus being a Moabite King when he forgave the murderer while on the cross. Murderers were given sanctuary in Moab. This is 1997 when I realized the Moabite population in Judea were treated like second class citizens due to the altering of the Genesis text. If I and other present day scholars could figure this had been done, then the folks in Jesus’ time – could too! There were rebels everywhere. Why not a Moabite uprising?
