A Message to Moab
Isaiah 16:1
Send you the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.…


The fugitives are supposed to have found a temporary home in Edom. The verse may be spoken by the prophet, or (as Prof. Cheyne suggests) it may proceed from the Moabite chiefs themselves, exhorting one another to take this step.

(Prof. S. R. Driver, D. D.)
