There is a place named Sela (Petra
in Greek) in Edom. The sheep were sent from Sela as there was so little left in Moab after the destruction. Some commentators disagree that the sheep could be sent from there, as it is too far from Moab. Sela can also be understood to refer to a rock in the desert.
1 Envoyez les agneaux au souverain du pays, Envoyez-les de Séla, par le désert, A la montagne de la fille de Sion.
