Beth-diblathaim, a Moabite town (= Almon-diblathaim)
Jeremiah 48:22 names Beth-diblathaim in the Moab oracle, likely identical with Almon-diblathaim mentioned in Numbers 33:46-47 as an Israelite wilderness encampment station. The name means 'house of the two fig cakes' and appears on the Moabite Stone as 'Beth-diblathen.' This confirms it was a known Moabite settlement. The double fig-cake name suggests either local produce or a cultic association, as fig cakes appear in various ritual contexts.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Jeremiah 48:22's 'Beth-diblathaim' (בֵּית דִּבְלָתָיִם) is confirmed as a genuine Moabite place name by its appearance on the Mesha Stele. Spanish 'Bet-Divlatayim,' English 'Beth-diblathaim' preserve the form. Identification with Almon-diblathaim from Israel's wilderness wanderings (Numbers 33) shows this was an established site in Moabite territory. The 'two fig cakes' name may relate to local agricultural specialization or religious offerings. 1×
