Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Nebajoth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Nebajoth is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the firstborn son of Ishmael and the tribe or people descended from him. It is mentioned in genealogical and prophetic contexts.

Context: Nebajoth is identified as the firstborn son of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar, as recorded in Genesis 25:13: "These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebajoth was the firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam." The descendants of Nebajoth are considered to be one of the tribes of the Ishmaelites, who settled in the region of northern Arabia. The name Nebajoth is also mentioned in Isaiah 60:7, where it is associated with the future glory of Zion: "All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebajoth will serve you and go up on My altar with acceptance. I will adorn My glorious house." This passage suggests that the descendants of Nebajoth were known for their pastoral wealth, particularly in livestock, which would be brought as offerings to the Lord. The historical and geographical identification of Nebajoth is often linked to the Nabataeans, an ancient Arab people who inhabited northern Arabia and the southern Levant.
