SCRIPTURE

"and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim," — Jeremiah 48:22 (ASV)

Beth-diblathaim. —The name signifies “the house of the double cake of figs,” and was, probably, applied to one of the more fertile districts of the Moabite country. In Numbers 33:46-47, the name Almon-diblathaim appears as one of the stations of the Israelites between Dibon and the mountains of Abarim before Nebo, and the conjunction of the names implies its identity with the place mentioned here. For Dibon and Nebo, see Notes on Jeremiah 48:1; Jeremiah 48:18.
