Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: The origin of the word וָהֵב (Vaheb) is uncertain. It is considered a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun וָהֵב (Vaheb) as it is a specific place name mentioned only in the Hebrew text.

Usage: Vaheb is mentioned in the context of a geographical location in the biblical narrative. It appears in the poetic passage of Numbers 21:14, which references the "Book of the Wars of the LORD."

Context: Vaheb is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in Numbers 21:14. The verse states: "Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: 'Waheb in Suphah and the wadis: the Arnon.'" This reference is part of a poetic excerpt that is believed to be from an ancient source known as the "Book of the Wars of the LORD," which is not extant today. The mention of Vaheb is brief and enigmatic, leading to various interpretations by scholars. Some suggest it may refer to a place near the Arnon River, while others propose it could be a lost or unidentified location. The context in which Vaheb is mentioned suggests it was significant in the historical or military events recorded in the now-lost book. The lack of additional biblical or archaeological evidence leaves the precise identification and significance of Vaheb open to interpretation.
