Nebo was a city in Moab, east of the Jordan River, and it was also the name of a Babylonian deity. The descendants of Nebo were among those who had intermarried with foreign women, which was against the Mosaic Law. This highlights the broader theme of the Israelites' struggle to maintain their distinct identity and covenant relationship with God after returning from exile.<p><b>Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, Joel, and Benaiah:</b><br>These names represent individuals who were part of the group that had taken foreign wives. Each name carries its own meaning and significance within Hebrew culture. For example, Jeiel means "God sweeps away," and Benaiah means "Yahweh has built." The listing of these names underscores the personal nature of the sin and the need for individual repentance and restoration. This passage connects to the broader biblical theme of repentance and the importance of purity and obedience to God's commands. The inclusion of these names also serves as a historical record, emphasizing the importance of accountability and the community's commitment to upholding the covenant.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nebo.htm">Nebo</a></b><br>A place or possibly a deity associated with Babylonian culture.
