an encampment of the Hebrews in the wilderness. From Punon they went to Oboth, and from Oboth to Ije-abarim, (Num. xxi. 10. xxxiii. 43). Oboth

Ptolemy speaks of a city called Oboda, or Eboda, in Arabia Petraea, which is the same as Oboth. Pliny and the geographer Stephanus mention it also. Stephanus makes it belong to the Nabateans, and Pliny to the Helmodoeans, a people of Arabia. It was at Oboth that they worshipped the god Obodus, which Tertullian joins with Dusares, another god or king of this country.
