# Moresheth Gath
|
|
|
|
You may want to add a footnote saying "The name 'Moresheth' means 'to depart.' It is also similar in sound to the word for 'fiancée.'" In this metaphor, Moresheth is the bride that Assyria takes, and the "parting gift" is the dowry, the gift her family gives for her to take into the marriage. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
