Why does the Torah describe the details of the city, Cheshbon? This name
refers to another cheshbon,a cheshbon hanefesh, which a person is
adjured to make. And the name of its king, Sichon, is similar to the word
sichah, meaning conversation. Idle conversation brings a person to his
eventual downfall. One who is concerned about his neshamah would do
well to distance himself from those who waste their lives, mocking all
things meaningful.
The name Moav alludes to our Heavenly Father. We should always
picture Hashem before us. This will save us from physical and spiritual
harm.
