Misgab

VIEW:29 DATA:01-04-2020
MISGAB.—Mentioned along with Nebo and Kiriathaim in the oracle against Moab (Jer_48:1). Perhaps it is not intended as a proper name. The same Heb. term occurs in Isa_25:12, where both AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘high fort’ (cf. 2Sa_22:3, Psa_9:9 bis Psa_18:2; Psa_46:7; Psa_46:11; Psa_48:3; Psa_59:9; Psa_59:16-17; Psa_62:2; Psa_62:6; Psa_94:22; Psa_144:2, Isa_33:16.

("the elevated spot".) In Moab Jer_48:1), "the high land of Moab." (Furst.)

Mis'gab. (height). A place in Moab. Jer_48:1. It appears to be mentioned also in Isa_25:12, though there rendered, in the Authorized Version, "high fort".

By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


mis?gab (המּשׂגּב, ha-misgābh; Codex Vaticanus Ἀμάθ, Amáth; Codex Alexandrinus τὸ κραταίωμα, tó krataı́ōma): Named with Nebo and Kiriathaim in the denunciation of doom against Moab (Jer_48:1). No trace of any name resembling this has been found. Possibly we should take it, not as a place-name, but as an appellation of some strong fortress, perhaps of Kir-moab itself. The term is elsewhere translated ?high fortress? (Isa_25:12, etc.).

Misgab
(Heb. Misgab', מַשְׂגָּב, height, as often; Sept. Α᾿μάθ τὸ κραταίωμα v.r. Μασιγάθ, and τὸ ὀχύρωμα Μωάβ,Vulg. fortis), a town in Moab, situated on the desolating track of the invading Babylonians (Jer_48:1), probably so called from being located on an eminence. De Saulcy (Narrative, 1:391) suggests a connection with the present Wady el-Mujeb, the ancient Arnon; but this is merely fanciful. The place is doubtless to be sought near the associated localities of Kiriathaim and Heshbon; perhaps it is only an appellative (as it usually has the article) for the older locality BAMOTH SEE BAMOTH (q.v.). Others think it may be the MIZPEH of Moab (1Sa_23:3), or a general name for the highlands of Moab, as in Isa_25:12 (without the art. A.V. “high fort”). SEE MOAB.
