Zion should receive the outcasts of Moab (Isaiah 16:1–4a)
View through CrossRef
In this chapter, the results of a comparative study of the two parallel texts Isa 15-16 and Jer 48, together with the contrasts in style and subject matter between Isa 16:1-5 and the surrounding poem, suggest that 16:1-5 was not part of the original poem about Moab. The sudden 1st person YHWH speech in 15:9b and the clear example of reapplication of an older oracle in 16:13-14 came from one editor sometime during the Neo-Babylonian period before Moab ceased to be a meaningful political force, who understood the original poem to have been in two parts. 16:4b-5 is characterized as an expectation for a future priestly Davidic Messiah, a hope which was more common in the post-exilic period, and it is in 16:1-4a that the vision of 14:1-2 is found to have been applied to the oracle against Moab.
