Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the word נֹף is uncertain, but it is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew נֹף (Noph) in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the city of Memphis. Usage: Noph is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the city of Memphis, which was a significant cultural and political center in ancient Egypt. It appears in prophetic contexts, often associated with judgment or desolation. Context: Noph, known as Memphis in Greek, was one of the most prominent cities in ancient Egypt, serving as a capital at various times throughout Egyptian history. Located near the Nile River, south of modern-day Cairo, Memphis was a hub of commerce, religion, and governance. In the Hebrew Bible, Noph is mentioned in prophetic books, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, often in the context of divine judgment against Egypt. For example, in Jeremiah 46:19 (BSB), it is written, "Pack your bags for exile, O daughter dwelling in Egypt! For Memphis will be laid waste, destroyed and uninhabited." This reflects the city's eventual decline and the fulfillment of prophetic warnings. The city's significance in the biblical narrative underscores the broader theme of God's sovereignty over nations and their destinies.
