Meaning and etymology of the name Nebaioth
|
|
| | |
Nebaioth 
Nebaioth is the first-born son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:13). Isaiah mentions him, together with his brother Kedar, among the tribes that will be gathered up for the Kingdom (60:7).
It's not clear what the name Nebaioth might mean, or where it comes from. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names insists that it is the plural of an unused root  (nabhah), to be high, and reads High Places (and refers to the name Ishbi-benob).
BDB Theological Dictionary seems to suggests that our name was originally spelled with a teth instead of a taw, and has to do with  (nabat), look, regard (see the name Nebat).
Perhaps the unused root that means to be high and the verb that means to look have something to do with each other and Nebaoith means Visions or rather Scopes.
Other words of interest are  (naba), meaning prophesy;  (nabi), meaning speaker, prophet;  (nebua), meaning prophecy.
There may even be relations with the names Barnabas and  , Nabu or , Nebo, which are found in certain compound names such as  , Nebuchadnezzar.
