Exegesis
The coordinating ūbə’ēr {וּבְאֵ֥ר | ūbə’ēr} ‘and at the well’ shifts the location to Elim. The repeated yillattāh forms a parallelism that underscores the pervasive nature of the lament. The chiasmic structure highlights the geographical reach and the unceasing sorrow.
In context — Isaiah 15:8
For the cry has gone around the border of Moab , its wailing reaches Eglaim , and the wailing continues at Beer Elim.
