Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Nibchaz, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a deity not mentioned in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Nibchaz is identified as a deity worshiped by the Avvites, a people group mentioned in the Old Testament. The name appears in the context of idolatrous practices introduced into Israel by foreign settlers.

Cultural and Historical Background: Nibchaz is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian resettlement policy. After the Assyrians conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel, they deported many Israelites and brought in people from other regions, including the Avvites, to inhabit Samaria. These new settlers brought their own gods and religious practices, which were often syncretized with local traditions. Nibchaz, along with other deities, represents the religious pluralism and idolatry that were prevalent in the region during this period.
