Nebo Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Nebo was a city and mountain in Moab, mentioned in the Old Testament.

Nebo Article STEPBible TIPNR

Nebo was a city in Moab, east of the Jordan River (Num. 32:3, 38; 1Chr. 5:8). It was one of the cities rebuilt by the Reubenites after the conquest of Canaan (Num. 32:38). Nebo is also mentioned in prophetic oracles against Moab (Isa. 15:2; Jer. 48:1, 22), indicating its significance in Moabite territory. The city was likely named after Mount Nebo, a prominent peak in the Abarim mountain range, from which Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death (Deut. 32:49; 34:1).

Nebo 1 Dictionary Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

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.
