AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 60:8 "Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe [in triumph]; Over Philistia I raise the shout [of victory]." |
Bible Question:
Who are the characters in this Psalm? Is there a present day Moab, Edom and Philisia? From my recollection (dangerous, I admit) Moab was the decendants of Lot resulting from from an incestuous realtionship. Edom was the descendants of Esau, the twin who sold his birthright. And Philistia, help me here, does this represent all the "heathen" nations that Israel conquered? (or rather should have) - Perhaps we wouldn't have the Palestinian conflict today if they had been obedient to God when they went in to take the land He had given them in the first place!? |
Bible Answer: While the passage does have implications for today's political condition my current interest is in the metaphor of "I shall throw My shoe." It seems that the metaphor of shoe or shod feet has a wide use in scripture and I am looking for insights regarding shoes, shod feet, sandles and feet in general. |
