In ancient Near Eastern culture, a washbasin was a common household item used for cleansing. By referring to Moab as a washbasin, the psalmist conveys that Moab is a tool for God's purposes, emphasizing its servitude and insignificance compared to God's sovereignty. Historically, Moab was a frequent adversary of Israel, and this imagery reflects the divine judgment and control over nations that oppose God's people. The Hebrew root for "washbasin" (סִיר, "sir") can also imply a pot or vessel, further underscoring the utilitarian and humble role assigned to Moab.<p><b>upon Edom I toss My sandal</b><br />The act of tossing a sandal upon Edom signifies ownership and authority. In ancient times, the removal or tossing of a sandal was a symbolic gesture of claiming possession or transferring rights, as seen in the book of Ruth (<a href="/ruth/4-7.htm">Ruth 4:7</a>). Edom, a nation descended from Esau, often had contentious relations with Israel. By stating "upon Edom I toss My sandal," the psalmist illustrates God's dominion and the subjugation of Edom under His rule. The Hebrew word for "sandal" (נַעַל, "na'al") is associated with travel and journey, suggesting that God's purposes will advance over Edom, further asserting His control over the land and its people.<p><b>over Philistia I shout in triumph</b><br />The phrase "over Philistia I shout in triumph" conveys a victorious proclamation over the Philistines, who were long-standing enemies of Israel. The act of shouting in triumph indicates a decisive victory and the celebration of God's power over adversaries. The Hebrew root for "shout" (רָנַן, "ranan") often denotes a joyful cry or singing, reflecting the exuberance and confidence in God's deliverance and justice. Historically, the Philistines were a formidable force, yet this verse reassures the faithful of God's ultimate victory over all opposition. The mention of Philistia serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to protect and vindicate His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/108.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I east out my shoe.</span> Identical with the first two clauses of <a href="/psalms/60-8.htm">Psalm 60:8</a>. Over Philistia will I triumph. In <a href="/psalms/60-8.htm">Psalm 60:8</a> the expression used is different. There we have, "Philistia, triumph thou over me," or, "because of me." Apparently the compiler has not understood David's irony, and has therefore changed the form of the verb. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/108-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Moab</span><br /><span class="heb">מוֹאָ֤ב ׀</span> <span class="translit">(mō·w·’āḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
