an encampment of the Hebrews in the wilderness. From Punon they went to Oboth, and from Oboth to Je-abarim, (Numb. xxii. 10. xxxiii. 43.) Ptolemy speaks of a city called Oboda, or Ebo-da, in Arabia Petraea, which is the same as Oboth. Pliny and the geographer Stephanus mention it also. Stephanus makes it belong to the Nabathæans, and Pliny to the Helmodœans, a people of Arabia. It was at Oboth that they worshipped the god Obodos, which Tertullian joins with Dufares, another god or king of this country.
