Nebo 2
Descriere
(2) (nebho; B, Nabou A, Nabo și alte forme): Cincizeci și doi de descendenți ai locuitorilor din Nebo s-au întors din exil cu Zorobabel [Ezr 2:29 ; Neh 7:33 ]. Locul se afla în Iuda și este menționat după Betel și Ai. Totuși, nu există nimic care să ne ghideze cu privire la poziția sa exactă. Ar putea fi reprezentat fie de Belt Nuba, la 12 mile nord-vest de Ierusalim, fie de Nuba, care se află la aproximativ 4 mile sud-sud-est de `Id el-Ma' (Adulam).

(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.
