Subjects in this Topic:

nō´dab (נודב, nōdhābh; Ναδαβαῖοι, Nadabaı́oi): A Hagrite clan which, along with Jetur and Naphish, suffered complete defeat at the hands of the trans-Jordanic Israelites (). It has been suggested that Nodab is a corruption of Kedemah or of Nebaioth, names which are associated with Jetur and Naphish in the lists of Ishmael's sons (; ), but it is difficult to see how even the most careless copyist could so blunder. There is a possible reminiscence of the name in Nudébe, a village in the Ḥauran.
