Contextual Overview
1 Concerning Mo'av, this is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: "Woe to N'vo, for it is ravaged; Kiryatayim disgraced and captured. Misgav is put to shame, distressed. 2 "In Mo'av, nothing is left to praise. At Heshbon they plotted her downfall: ‘Come, we'll cut her off as a nation.' You too, Madmein, will be silenced; the sword pursues behind you. 3 An agonized cry from Horonayim, ruin, terrible devastation! 4 Mo'av has been shattered; the cries of her young ones are heard, 5 as they ascend the slopes of Luchit, weeping bitterly as they climb. On the road down to Horonayim shrieks of destruction ring out." 6 Flee! Save your lives! Be strong, like a tamarisk in the desert. 7 Because you trust in your deeds and your wealth, you too will be captured. Together with his priests and princes, K'mosh will go into exile. 8 A destroyer will descend on every city, no city will escape. The valley too will perish, the plain will be laid waste, as Adonai as said. 9 Give Mo'av wings, so it can fly and get away. Its cities will become ruins, with no one to live in them. 10 A curse on him who does the work of Adonai carelessly! A curse on him who withholds his sword from blood!

Reciprocal: Exodus 10:7 - that Egypt Jeremiah 20:16 - let him Jeremiah 48:15 - gone

Genesis 47:27
Isra'el lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. They acquired possessions in it and were productive, and their numbers multiplied greatly. Haftarah Vayigash: Yechezk'el (Ezekiel) 37:15–28 B'rit Hadashah suggested reading for Parashah Vayigash: Acts 7:9–16 (specifically vv. 13–15) Ya‘akov lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; thus Ya‘akov lived to be 147 years old. The time came when Isra'el was approaching death; so he called for his son Yosef and said to him, "If you truly love me, please put your hand under my thigh and pledge that, out of consideration for me, you will not bury me in Egypt. Rather, when I sleep with my fathers, you are to carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried." He replied, "I will do as you have said." He said, "Swear it to me," and he swore to him. Then Isra'el bowed down at the head of his bed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moab is destroyed,.... Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum,
"the kingdom of Moab is broken;''
and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom g says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab";
her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the enemy; and not only so, but just going to be dashed in pieces by them. The Targum interprets it, her governors; and so Jarchi, who thinks they are so called, because they are lesser than kings. Kimchi and Ben Melech suggest, that these are called so by way of contempt. The word "tzeir" signifies both "little" and "great", as the learned Pocock h has abundantly proved.
g De locis Heb. fol. 87. H. & 93. B. h Not. Miscell. in Port. Mosis, p. 17, 18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Moab - Probably the city elsewhere called Ar-Moab. See the Septuagint of this verse.
