NOPHAH, or Nophe, a City of the Moabites, which afterwards belonged to Numb. xxi. 30.the Amorites, and lastly to the Israelites. Nophah was near to Medebah. There is some Probability that it is the same as Nephtis, Esdr. v. 21. or Nebo or Nabo, Nehem. vii. 33. and Ezr. ii. 29, &c. The Situation of the Places agrees perfectly well. Nebo is joined with Medeba in Isai. xvi. 2. xlvi. 1.
