5015. Nbow
Strong's Lexicon
Nbow: Nebo

Original Word: נָבוֹ
Part of Speech: proper name, of a location; proper name, of a divinity
Transliteration: Nbow
Pronunciation: naw-voh'
Phonetic Spelling: (neb-o')
Definition: Nebo
Meaning: Nebo

Word Origin: Derived from the root נָבָא (naba), meaning "to prophesy" or "to speak by divine inspiration."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Nebo, the concept of prophecy and divine communication can be linked to Greek terms such as προφήτης (prophētēs - Strong's Greek 4396), meaning "prophet."

Usage: Nebo is a name used in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to a location and a deity. It is most commonly associated with Mount Nebo, a significant mountain in the biblical narrative, and with a Babylonian deity of wisdom and writing.

Cultural and Historical Background: Mount Nebo is a prominent peak in the Abarim range, located in present-day Jordan. It holds significant importance in the biblical narrative as the place where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death (Deuteronomy 34:1). The name Nebo is also linked to a Babylonian god, Nabu, who was associated with wisdom, writing, and prophecy. This reflects the cultural exchanges and influences between the Israelites and their neighboring civilizations.
