Reference: Eglath-shelishiyah

Hastings

EGLATH-SHELISHIYAH occurs in an ancient oracle against Moab, which is quoted in Isa 15:5 and Jer 48:34. In both these passages RV takes the word to be a proper name, giving in margin the alternative tr '[as] an heifer of three years old,' which is AV in Jer 48:34 and Authorized Version margin in Isa 15:5. In the latter passage, AV text omits '[as].' It is still somewhat uncertain whether the word is an appellative or a proper name, although the latter view has commended itself to the majority of modern scholars.
