filled--glutted. The image of a sacrifice is continued.
blood . . . fat--the parts especially devoted to God in a sacrifice (2 Samuel 1:22).
lambs . . . goats--sacrificial animals: the Idumeans, of all classes, doomed to slaughter, are meant (Zephaniah 1:7).
Bozrah--called Bostra by the Romans, etc., assigned in Jeremiah 48:24 to Moab, so that it seems to have been at one time in the dominion of Edom, and at another in that of Moab (Isaiah 63:1; Jeremiah 49:13, Jeremiah 49:20, Jeremiah 49:22); it was strictly not in Edom, but the capital of Auranitis (the Houran). Edom seems to have extended its dominion so as to include it (compare Lamentations 4:21).
