15:2 They went up to the temple, 1
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. 2
Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba, 3 Moab wails.
Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off. 4
[15:2] 1 tn Heb “house.”
[15:2] 2 tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.
[15:2] 3 tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”
[15:2] 4 sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.
