Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Nebayoth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Nebayoth is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the firstborn son of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. The name is also used to denote the descendants of Nebayoth, who became a tribal group. Cultural and Historical Background: Nebayoth is significant in the context of the Abrahamic lineage. As the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebayoth represents the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would become a great nation (Genesis 17:20). The descendants of Nebayoth are traditionally associated with the Nabataeans, an ancient Arab people who inhabited parts of modern-day Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. The Nabataeans are known for their advanced civilization and the city of Petra. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom nabat Definition oldest son of Ishmael, also his desc.
