Yirmeyah 48:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:3

A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim
Another city of Moab. The word is of the dual number; and, according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, there were two Horons, the upper and the lower; of this place (See Gill on Isaiah 15:5); this also should be destroyed; and so a cry of the inhabitants of it should be heard out of it: spoiling, and great destruction;
because the city was spoiled, and a great destruction made in the inhabitants and riches of it.

Yirmeyah 48:3 In-Context

1 8 Against Moav thus saith Hashem Tzva’os Elohei Yisroel: Hoy (woe, doom) unto Nevo! For it is made havoc; Kiryatayim is shamed and captured; Misgav is shamed and dismayed.

2 There shall be no more tehillah (praise) of Moav; in Cheshbon they have plotted ra’ah against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be silenced, O Madmein; the cherev shall pursue thee.

3 A voice of crying shall be from Choronayim, havoc and shever gadol (great destruction).

4 Moav is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5 For in the Ascent of Luchit continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Choronayim the anguished ones have heard a cry of shever (destruction).
