Some place in Moab which would be ascended with weeping when God’s judgments were poured out upon Moab (Isa. 15:5⁵My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. (Isaiah 15:5); Jer. 48:5⁵For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. (Jeremiah 48:5)). Talat el Heisah, 31° 46' N, 35° 43' E, has been suggested as probably the place alluded to. It lies between Mount Pisgah and Mount Nebo.
