Nopha
Smith's Bible Dictionary
or Resource Toolbox
No'pha. (blast). A place mentioned only in Numbers 21:30, in the remarkable song, apparently, composed by the Amorites, after their conquest of Heshbon, from the Moabites, and therefore, of an earlier date than the Israelite invasion.
It is named with Dibon and Medeba, and was, possibly, in the neighborhood of Heshbon. A name very similar to Nophah is Nobah, which is twice mentioned. Ewald decides that Nophah is identical with the latter of these.
