‏ Isaiah 34:6

6. filled--glutted. The image of a sacrifice is continued.

blood ... fat--the parts especially devoted to God in a sacrifice (2Sa 1:22).

lambs ... goats--sacrificial animals: the Idumeans, of all classes, doomed to slaughter, are meant (Zep 1:7).

Bozrah--called Bostra by the Romans, &c., assigned in Jr 48:24 to Moab, so that it seems to have been at one time in the dominion of Edom, and at another in that of Moab (Is 63:1; Jr 49:13, 20, 22); it was strictly not in Edom, but the capital of Auranitis (the Houran). Edom seems to have extended its dominion so as to include it (compare La 4:21).
