Native land, kindred, birthplace — 'the land of his birth (erets moladto)' that exiled Shallum will never see again (22:10). It is Abram's word, the thing the call told him to LEAVE: 'go from your land and your moledet and your father's house' (Genesis 12:1). Abraham surrendered his homeland by promise and gained a nation; the last kings lose theirs by force and gain a grave in a foreign land — the call run backward. → first discussed at Jer 22:10
