Exegesis
A series of coordinated objects—habayit {הַבַּיִת | hab-bā-yit} ‘the house’, wedibon {וְדִיבֹן | wə-dib-ōn} ‘and Dibon’, and habamot {הַבָּמוֹת | hab-bā-mōt} ‘the high places’—is governed by the purpose phrase levekhi {לְבֶכִי | lə-vē-kī} ‘for weeping’.
In context — Isaiah 15:2
He goes up to the house , to Dibon, and to the high places for weeping. Over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails ; every head is bald, and every beard is shorn.
