What Does Judges 3:30 Mean?
The episode closes as the first one did, in peace. Moab is humbled under Israel's hand, and the land enjoys rest, this time fourscore, or eighty, years, the longest peace recorded in the book.
Rest is once more the gift that follows the LORD's deliverance, a season for a weary people to live and worship in safety. Eighty years is two generations of quiet, a long mercy granted to those who had cried out from bondage. Such rest is always God's doing and His gift, and it points beyond every temporary peace to the lasting rest He has prepared for all who trust in Him.
