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