Psalm 60:8-10 Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.… The person who is about to wash his feet casts his shoe to a slave. "To Edom will I cast my shoe," (Hengstenberg). Or else the idea of casting the shoe in contempt upon Edom expresses at once the taking possession victoriously of the Edomite land and the treading upon the pride of Edom, wherewith he had trodden the Israelite land as an invader. The casting of the shoe was also a symbol of transference of possession (Ruth 4:7). (A. R. Fausset.)
