Referring to Moab as a washbasin implies subjugation and servitude. Moab, a nation east of Israel, often had contentious relations with Israel (<a href="/judges/3-12.htm">Judges 3:12-30</a>). This metaphor suggests that Moab will be used for menial purposes, indicating God's dominion over them. Historically, Moab was known for its pride (<a href="/isaiah/16-6.htm">Isaiah 16:6</a>), and this imagery underscores their humbling under God's sovereignty.<p><b>upon Edom I toss My sandal;</b><br>Tossing a sandal was a symbolic act in ancient Near Eastern culture, often related to claiming ownership or transferring property rights (<a href="/ruth/4-7.htm">Ruth 4:7</a>). By stating that He tosses His sandal upon Edom, God is asserting His authority and ownership over Edom. Edom, descendants of Esau, had a long-standing enmity with Israel (<a href="/genesis/25-30.htm">Genesis 25:30</a>, <a href="/obadiah/1-10.htm">Obadiah 1:10</a>). This phrase indicates their subjugation and the fulfillment of prophecies concerning Edom's downfall (<a href="/isaiah/34-5.htm">Isaiah 34:5-6</a>).<p><b>over Philistia I shout in triumph.”</b><br>Philistia, located on the southwestern coast of Canaan, was a perennial adversary of Israel (1 Samuel 17). The shout of triumph signifies victory and dominance over the Philistines. This reflects God's power to deliver His people from their enemies and is reminiscent of the victories God granted Israel over the Philistines during the reigns of Saul and David (<a href="/1_samuel/14-47.htm">1 Samuel 14:47</a>, <a href="/2_samuel/5-17.htm">2 Samuel 5:17-25</a>). The triumph over Philistia also prefigures the ultimate victory of Christ over all spiritual adversaries (<a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moab.htm">Moab</a></b><br>A nation descended from Lot, often in conflict with Israel.

The act of tossing a sandal upon Edom symbolizes dominance and ownership, as casting a sandal was a cultural sign of claiming possession.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/philistia.htm">Philistia</a></b><br>A perennial enemy of Israel, known for their conflicts with figures like Samson and David.

Others explain, from analogy of Arabic proverbs, that the conqueror would as it were wash his face white, <span class= "ital">i.e., </span>acquire renown in Moab.<p>Possibly the comparison of Moab to a bath was suggested by its proximity to the Dead Sea, which might be said to be at the foot of Israel.<p><span class= "bld">Over Edom . . .</span>--The most natural explanation of this figure is that Edom is disgraced to the character of the slave to whom the conqueror tosses his sandals (<span class= "ital">na'al </span>is collective), that they may be cleaned. (Comp. <a href="/matthew/3-11.htm" title="I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.">Matthew 3:11</a>). The symbolic action of <a href="/ruth/4-7.htm" title="Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.">Ruth 4:7</a> had a different meaning, the transfer of a right of ownership, and so cannot be employed in illustration.<p>Of the "shoe," as a figure of what is vilest and most common, Dr. J. G. Wetzstein quotes many Arabic proverbs. A covering for the feet would naturally draw to it such associations. (Comp. the use of footstool repeatedly in the Psalms, and Shakespeare's use of foot,<p>"What my foot my tutor!"--<span class= "ital">Tempest.</span>)<p>But the custom which Israel brought from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/3-3.htm" title="And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.">Exodus 3:3</a>), of dropping the sandals outside the door of a temple, and even of an ordinary house, must have served still more to fasten on that article of dress, ideas of vileness and profanation. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/60.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Moab is my washpot.</span> A term of extreme contempt (see Herod., 2:172).

The reference to <a href="/ruth/4-7.htm">Ruth 4:7, 8</a>, which is commonly made, is very doubtful. Probably no more is intended than that Edom will be a slave of so low a rank as only to clean the shoes of its master.
