Geremia 48:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:4

Moab is destroyed
Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum,

``the kingdom of Moab is broken;''
and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom F7 says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab"; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;
seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the enemy; and not only so, but just going to be dashed in pieces by them. The Targum interprets it, her governors; and so Jarchi, who thinks they are so called, because they are lesser than kings. Kimchi and Ben Melech suggest, that these are called so by way of contempt. The word "tzeir" signifies both "little" and "great", as the learned Pocock F8 has abundantly proved.

Geremia 48:4 In-Context

2 Non vi è più vanto per Moab in Hesbon; è stato macchinato contro a quella del male, dicendo: Venite, e distruggiamola, che non sia più nazione; anche tu, Madmen, perirai; la spada ti perseguiterà.
3 Una voce di grido viene di Horonaim, voce di guasto, e di gran rotta.
4 Moab è rotto, i suoi piccoli figliuoli hanno dati di gran gridi.
5 Perciocchè un continuo pianto sale per la salita di Luhit; imperocchè hanno uditi i nemici, un grido di rotta, nella discesa di Horonaim.
6 Fuggite, scampate le vostre persone, e sieno come un tamerice nel deserto.
