Laishah (place name; village north of Jerusalem in Isaiah's invasion oracle)
Laishah was a village north of Jerusalem, mentioned in Isaiah 10:30 as the Assyrian army approached the city. The site is unknown, though some scholars have suggested 'Isawiye, about two miles northeast of Jerusalem. The name may be related to the personal and place name Laish. The Septuagint renders it as "ἐν Σα" or "Λαισα." Isaiah's oracle traces the enemy's route of advance, naming each village to build dramatic tension as the invader draws nearer to Zion.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Isaiah 10:30 addresses Laishah in the prophet's vivid oracle of Assyrian invasion: "Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Give attention, O Laishah!" Spanish and French preserve "Laishah" as a place name. The passage geographically traces the enemy's southward march toward Jerusalem, building suspense as each village is named in the invader's path, though God will ultimately defend His city. 1×
