Isaiah ch.16 - Archaeology and Israeli Song

The prophecy of ch.15-16 closes with the words: "That is the word that God spoke concerning Moab LONG AGO." (16:13) To what does the prophet refer? We shall bring the traditional approach of Rashi, followed by an archeological suggestion by Prof. Yehudah Elitzur. We end with a line which was incorporated into a song penned by Israeli songwriter - Naomi Shemer.
