From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Moab
     the seed of the father, or, according to others, the desirable
     land, the eldest son of Lot (Gen. 19:37), of incestuous birth.
     
       (2.) Used to denote the people of Moab (Num. 22:3-14; Judg.
     3:30; 2 Sam. 8:2; Jer. 48:11, 13).


     
       (3.) The land of Moab (Jer. 48:24), called also the "country
     of Moab" (Ruth 1:2, 6; 2:6), on the east of Jordan and the Dead
     Sea, and south of the Arnon (Num. 21:13, 26). In a wider sense
     it included the whole region that had been occupied by the
     Amorites. It bears the modern name of Kerak.
     
       In the Plains of Moab, opposite Jericho (Num. 22:1; 26:63;
     Josh. 13:32), the children of Israel had their last encampment
     before they entered the land of Canaan. It was at that time in
     the possession of the Amorites (Num. 21:22). "Moses went up from
     the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of
     Pisgah," and "died there in the land of Moab, according to the
     word of the Lord" (Deut. 34:5, 6). "Surely if we had nothing
     else to interest us in the land of Moab, the fact that it was
     from the top of Pisgah, its noblest height, this mightiest of
     the prophets looked out with eye undimmed upon the Promised
     Land; that it was here on Nebo, its loftiest mountain, that he
     died his solitary death; that it was here, in the valley over
     against Beth-peor, he found his mysterious sepulchre, we have
     enough to enshrine the memory in our hearts."
