Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 16:1
Theological / DevotionalSend ye the lamb. When Moab had been subdued by Omri and Ahab, tribute was paid to Israel in the form of lambs and rams (2 Kings 3:4). Now Moab was called upon to send a similar tribute to Judah.
From Sela. See on 2 Kings 14:7; cf. Jer. 48:28. Sela means “rock,” and is thought to have been the name of the capital of Edom. The people of Moab had been forced to leave their cities and flee to the wilderness and make their homes in the rocks. Now, in their desolate condition, they are called upon to acknowledge the supremacy of “the mount of the daughter of Zion” by the payment of tribute.
