Isaiah 15:8

15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory;

their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim.

Isaiah 19:19

19:19 At that time there will be an altar for the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, as well as a sacred pillar dedicated to the Lord at its border.

Isaiah 54:12

54:12 I will make your pinnacles out of gems,

your gates out of beryl,

and your outer wall out of beautiful stones.


tn Heb “to Eglaim [is] her wailing, and [to] Beer Elim [is] her wailing.”

tn This word is sometimes used of a sacred pillar associated with pagan worship, but here it is associated with the worship of the Lord.

tn Perhaps, “rubies” (so ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

tn On the meaning of אֶקְדָּח (’eqdakh), which occurs only here, see HALOT 82 s.v.

tn Heb “border” (so ASV); NASB “your entire wall.”

tn Heb “delightful”; KJV “pleasant.”
