1. Kir-Hareseth (place name) — Proper noun designating Kir-Hareseth (also Kir-Heres, Kir-Hareseth), a fortified Moabite city, probably modern Kerak in Jordan. The compound name consists of qir (wall) + cheres/chareseth (potsherd/earthenware). Mentioned in the oracle against Moab (Isa 16:7, 11) where mourning is directed toward its raisin cakes, and in Jeremiah's parallel oracle (Jer 48:31, 36). Also the last stronghold of Mesha king of Moab during Jehoram's campaign (2 Kgs 3:25). Rendered Arabic Qir-Harasa (قِيرِ حَرَسَ), Korean Gireu-Hareseth (기르 헤레스), Spanish Kir-Hares/Kir-hareset, French Kir-Heres. All sub-clusters (Qir-, Cheres, Hareseth, the compound forms) are parts of this single place name in various syntactic configurations. 8×
