Notes and references
These are not actual place names. They mean “double rebellion” and “punishment.” However, they are similar in sound to two locations in Babylonia.
“Set apart for destruction”: a special term that described a dedication to the Lord, indicating that what was promised was to be given over to the Lord and not retained.
