Building on the work of David Jobling (who suggests there is a structural coding of the Cisjordan as male and the Transjordan as female) and Rachel Havrelock (who suggests the Transjordan and Moab are places of gender deviancy), this article explores issues of geographical, ethnic, and gender identity in stories of Moabite and Transjordanian women. Particular attention is given to the twin tropes of incest and exogamy and how this relates to the pattern of anxiety and lost identity in the Transjordan. Analysis begins with the story of Lot’s daughters, who serve as archetypal and paradigmatic Moabite women, and moves on to include the Moabite women in Numbers 25, Zelophehad’s daughters, Jephthah’s daughter, and Ruth.

摩押妇女、外约旦妇女、乱伦和异族通婚：希伯来圣经中性别界限的维度

基于 David Jobling（他建议将西约旦作为男性，将外约旦作为女性）和 Rachel Havrelock（他认为外约旦和摩押是性别偏差的地方）的工作，本文探讨了地理、摩押和外约旦妇女故事中的种族和性别认同。特别关注乱伦和异族通婚的双重比喻，以及这与外约旦的焦虑模式和失去身份的关系。分析从罗得的女儿们的故事开始，她们是摩押妇女的原型和典范，然后继续包括民数记 25 章中的摩押妇女、西罗非哈的女儿、耶弗他的女儿和路得。
