I just realized my footnote 1 read rlejst.com. It should be [email protected].
Answering David Cook: I'm sorry, I do not know the answer to that question.

Is it possible that the origin story of the Moabites and Ammonites could have been a later invention by the Israelites to malign and discredit their longtime enemies?

Thanks for this. I was especially piqued by this thought:
"It is interesting to note that from Adam until Jesus Christ the firstborn son never inherited the covenantal birthright and patriarchal priesthood. This was generally because of their unworthiness or perhaps as we see in the case of Ishmael, they were not born to the first wife. Biblically it was always a younger son who obtained the covenantal priesthood birthright among whom were Abel, Seth, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others."
Interestingly, I had noticed a pattern. But, didn't take it so far as to study and find such cinsistency. Very interesting indeed.
