Nebo 2
Beskrywing
(2) (nebho; B, Nabou A, Nabo, en ander vorme): Twee-en-vyftig afstammelinge van die inwoners van Nebo het saam met Serubbabel uit ballingskap teruggekeer ([Esr 2:29 ; Neh 7:33 ]). Die plek was in Juda en word genoem na Bet-el en Ai. Daar is egter niks om ons te lei tot die presiese ligging daarvan nie. Dit kan verteenwoordig word deur óf Belt Nuba, 12 myl noordwes van Jerusalem, óf Nuba, wat ongeveer 4 myl suid-suidoos van `Id el-Ma' (Adullam) lê.

proclaimer; prophet.
(1.) A Chaldean god whose worship was introduced into Assyria by Pul (Isa 46:1; Jer 48:1 ). To this idol was dedicated the great temple whose ruins are still seen at Birs Nimrud. A statue of Nebo found at Calah, where it was set up by Pul, king of Assyria, is now in the British Museum.
(2.) A mountain in the land of Moab from which Moses looked for the first and the last time on the Promised Land (Deut 32:49 ; 34:1). It has been identified with Jebel Nebah, on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea, near its northern end, and about 5 miles south-west of Heshbon. It was the summit of the ridge of Pisgah (q.v.), which was a part of the range of the "mountains of Abarim." It is about 2,643 feet in height, but from its position it commands a view of Western Palestine. Close below it are the plains of Moab, where Balaam, and afterwards Moses, saw the tents of Israel spread along.
(3.) A town on the east of Jordan which was taken possession of and rebuilt by the tribe of Reuben (Num 32:3 ; 32:38; 1Chr 5:8). It was about 8 miles south of Heshbon.
(4.) The "children of Nebo" (Ezra 2:29; Neh 7:33 ) were of those who returned from Babylon. It was a town in Benjamin, probably the modern Beit Nubah, about 7 miles north-west of Hebron.
