Nebo

[ nee-boh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Nebo

/ ˈniːbəʊ /

Mount Nebo
Mount Nebo a mountain in Jordan, northeast of the Dead Sea: the highest point of a ridge known as Pisgah, from which Moses viewed the Promised Land just before his death (Deuteronomy 34:1). Height: 802 m (2631 ft)

Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.

Nebo (Mercury) had the charge over learning and culture,--the god of wisdom, who "teaches and instructs."

The first represents Nebo, the Nahbi, or the navel, characterised by a ring with a central mound.

They cut away the ceiling and the roof; it went on growing until it grew right up to the heavens (nebo).

A fragment of a hymn to Nebo (Nebo No. 2) has in a passage of five lines yet a different use of the refrain.
