Supported# Nobah (H7079): A Place Name in Biblical Geography Based on the lexical data provided, Nobah appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun referring to a specific location. With only two occurrences documented, this term represents a minor geographical designation rather than a frequently referenced place. The designation as a place name (rather than a common noun with semantic range) indicates that Nobah functioned as a fixed toponym—a name identifying a particular settlement or region in the biblical landscape. The limited attestation of Nobah in the biblical text suggests it held significance primarily within particular historical narratives or geographical contexts, though its exact importance cannot be determined from the lexical data alone. Without additional context about the specific passages where these two occurrences appear, we can only conclude that Nobah was a recognized location name sufficiently established to appear in the biblical record, but not prominent enough to feature prominently throughout the text.
