Nebaioth:
height. (1.) Ishmael's eldest son (Gen 25:13), and the prince of an Israelitish tribe (16). He had a sister, Mahalath, who was one of Esau's wives (Gen 28:9; 36:3).
(2.) The name of the Ishmaelite tribe descended from the above (Gen 25:13,18). The "rams of Nebaioth" (Isa 60:7) are the gifts which these wandering tribes of the desert would consecrate to God.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
