and his seed shall be hin many waters;
his king shall be higher than iAgag,
and jhis kingdom shall be exalted.

▼Hebrew corners [of the head]
of Moaband break down all the sons of Sheth.

qSeir also, his enemies, shall be dispossessed.
Israel is doing valiantly.
19And one from Jacob shall exercise dominion
and destroy the survivors of cities!”
