1. Yeshayahu 15-16

   Matan Al HaPerek

   Rabbi David Sabato

   Perek 15-16 details Yeshayahu’s prophecy regarding Moav. His pronouncement opens with a prediction of  Moav’s destruction, however most of  the prophecy is devoted to a description of  the great mourning left in its wake (15:1-9). Scattered throughout this section are the names of  Moav’s main cities.  The second half  of  the prophecy (16:1-5) describes the pleas of  Moabite refugees seeking refuge in Israel. In the third section (16:6-12), Yeshayahu vividly describes the destroyed fields and vineyards of  Moav as well as the destruction of  its temples and high places (bamot). In the final pesukim of  the prophecy (13-14), Yeshayahu reveals that there are only three years left until the arrival of  Moav’s destruction.
