22:12 At that time the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, called for weeping and mourning,
for shaved heads and sackcloth. 1
15:2 They went up to the temple, 2
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. 3
Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba, 4 Moab wails.
Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off. 5
1 tn Heb “for baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.” See the note at 15:2.
2 tn Heb “house.”
3 tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.
4 tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”
5 sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.
