Beth-diblathaim

Beth-diblathaim (meaning: house of two cakes of figs or house of the two fig-cakes) was a city of Moab mentioned in Jeremiah's oracle of judgment against the Moabite cities. The same place appears to be called Almon-diblathaim in the wilderness itinerary of Numbers 33:46-47, where it marks one of Israel's encampments in the region of Moab during the wilderness journey, and Diblathaim in Ezekiel 6:14.

The town's location is uncertain, though it lay in the plateau of Moab east of the Dead Sea. Jeremiah's oracle against Moab in chapter 48 lists it alongside Dibon, Nebo, and Kiriathaim as cities that would share in Moab's coming desolation, using the formula of naming multiple cities to convey the comprehensive scope of the judgment. The name's reference to fig-cakes may indicate an agricultural district known for this product, or may preserve the name of an early Moabite settlement whose etymology had been lost by the time of the biblical record.
