“He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.”
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep; Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be cut off—the movement of the Moabite people to the high places to weep and mourn, with the shaving of heads and beards indicating the depth of mourning and humiliation. The cataloguing of cities suggests the geographic spread of the devastation. This verse emphasizes the universality of the lamentation.
