(noh' fuh) Place name meaning, “blast.” Nophah passed from Moabite to Ammonite to Israelite control (Numbers 21:26 ,Numbers 21:26,21:30 ). The REB and RSV by altering one letter of the Hebrew text read “fire spread,” a reading supported by the earliest Greek translation and Samaritan Pentateuch. If Nophah was a place, it is perhaps Nobah (Numbers 32:42 ).
